Whether you plan to travel by car, on foot, by metro, by train or even by bike. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games may well have an impact on you if you’re traveling in the Paris region.

On the Paris ring road and within a radius of a hundred kilometers around the capital, reserved lanes for athletes<\/strong> will be set up.
