Emmanuel Macron expected Thursday morning to inaugurate the Olympic village. Built in seven years, the village brings together some 82 buildings, 3,000 apartments and 7,200 rooms on a site which extends over 52 hectares.

The apartments are in fact delivered bare, and it is now necessary to equip them, install the furniture (beds, bedside tables, etc.), and set up the service centers for the athletes. “It’s a village that we worked with athletes for athletes (...) so that each athlete can find all the needs they will need,” summarizes Laurent Michaud.
