Paris 2024 Olympic Games: 222,000 free seats for the opening ceremony, but only by invitation. Place Beauvau had the last word with what it presents as “plan B” for this unique ceremony.

In total, the Ministry of the Interior estimates that it will be necessary to manage 576,000 spectators on the evening of July 26. The opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games, scheduled for August 28 at Place de la Concorde in Paris, will welcome a total of 65,000 people.
