Public Transport
The Paris public transportation network will operate as usual, with increased frequency during peak hours. However, expect larger crowds, especially near venues and tourist hotspots. The Ministry of Transport has created an interactive map (available in English) that will help you plan your route. A mobile app will be released shortly.

- RER: lines B, C and D
- Tram: T3a and T3b
Car Traffic Restrictions
Certain areas around Olympic venues will be closed to private vehicles, especially on a day when there’s a competition scheduled at that location. Use the interactive map or check the official Paris 2024 website for updated maps and restrictions.
Planning Tips:
- Be flexible: Enjoy the Olympic atmosphere and adapt your itinerary if needed. Consider alternative locations or start times based on potential restrictions.
- Stay informed: Regularly check the Paris 2024 website and public transport apps for updates on closures and disruptions.
- Book early: Restaurants, museums, and events slots will fill up quickly. Secure your reservations well in advance! And don’t get so busy during your epic Olympic adventure that you forget your Paris photoshoot. Contact me now so we can get to planning!
