For the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the 18th arrondissement is hosting some of the sporting events: how about a little jaunt through the 18th arrondissement for the occasion?
Recently opened in 2023, theArena de la Porte de la Chapelle is the18th arrondissement's only Olympic venue. Designed to host a wide range of cultural and sporting events, the Arena is also the year-round home of Paris Basketball. For the Paris 2024 Games, the Porte de la Chapelle Arena will host the badminton and para-badminton events, as well as the para-taekwondo events for the Paralympics and part of the rhythmic gymnastics events. To reach the site by public transport, take the RER E (Rosa Parks stop), the T3b metro or metro line 12 (Porte de la Chapelle stop).
