The Saut Hermès riders will take over the site next weekend.

Then ChangeNOW will unveil its solutions for the planet before the installation of works from the cosmopolitan art fair.

The events follow one another at the ephemeral Grand Palais, erected in front of the École Militaire, at the entrance to the Champ-de-Mars (7th century) facing the Eiffel Tower.

A program that could continue, to the great dismay of local residents.

This setting of approximately 10,000 m2 which will host this summer the events of judo, freestyle wrestling, Greco-Roman wrestling then para-judo and wheelchair rugby during the Olympic and Paralympic Games (JOP) of Paris 2024 - it will be renamed Arena Champ-de-Mars — was initially scheduled to be dismantled at the end of the competition.

But GL Events (1.4 billion euros in turnover in 2023), the operator, would like to continue the adventure and maintain the wooden frame building.

And began an intense phase of lobbying.
