The hidden faces of Paris 2024

This edition of the Olympics has a special feature: many of the competitions take place in the city centre, close to Paris’ most iconic monuments. 95% of the infrastructure is either existing or temporary, which has kept costs down to around nine billion euros. Paris 2024 is the cheapest Games in decades. The Municipality of Paris is convinced the event will still leave a huge legacy.

We have managed to finalise works that might have taken 10 or 15 years to achieve, in four or five years.
