Good news for fans of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games! One year after the opening ceremony of the games, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) has announced a series of festivities to extend the legacy. The highlight of this commemoration will be a national celebration on July 26, 2025, exactly one year after the parade on the Seine. This event is part of a drive to ensure national consistency around Olympic and Paralympic values.
The CNOSF 's Board of Directors, meeting on April 23 and 24, 2025 at the Maison du Sport Français, confirmed the national coordination of this initiative. The aim is to"bring the legacy" of the Gamesto life by mobilizing institutional and sporting players, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC), federations and local authorities. A specific label has been created to identify events that are part of this dynamic. According to the CNOSF,"the label campaign, which has already been launched, is open to Olympic federations involved in the Summer Games program, as well as to CROS, CDOS and CTOS".
Among the highlights of this summer program, several key moments will be honored on July 26: the remembrance of the arrival of the Olympic Flame in Marseille aboard the Belem, the Fête du Sport on September 14, and the symbolic raising of the Olympic cauldron. The aim of these celebrations is to keep the memory of the Paris 2024 Games alive and to ensure a form of continuity across the territory. Details of these events will be announced in due course.
