Traffic will not be easy during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will take place from July 26 to August 11. A week before the sporting event, to move around an area of several square kilometers along the Seine and in a few streets of the capital, you will need to have a QR Code.
Areas where a QR Code is required
Gérald Darmanin, Minister of the Interior, unveiled the Silt perimeter at the microphone of Parisian. In this area, only workers, residents and visitors will be able to circulate. A QR Code will be required to travel there and can be requested from an online platform, which will open on May 10. The authorities will carry out “security screenings” before validating access to requesters.
Security requires, you will have to present this QR Code to any authorized person, such as the police. This pass will allow travel in the Olympic Games zone from one week before the opening ceremony.
The Parisian has published a map which shows the Silt perimeter or the areas where traffic is prohibited unless there is an exemption. A color code has been set up by the media to make them easier to spot.
To get to certain areas of the Silt perimeter, such as the Louvre or the Arab World Institute, you will have to go through dedicated access points. The same goes for Austerlitz station, where a train ticket will be required to enter.
Some metro stations will be closed while the Notre-Dame, Sully, Iéna and Invalides bridges, a pedestrian bridge and the Léopold-Sédar-Senghor footbridge will remain open.
