Some 40 street signs will be replaced to reflect the colors of the Paris 2024 Games. This beautiful Olympic legacy awaits discovery as you stroll around the capital. Don’t forget to look up!
The athletes participating in the Olympic marathon will set off from the Place de l’Hôtel de Ville-Esplanade de la Libération (Paris Centre) on August 10. Therefore, it’s only fitting that the very first street sign bearing the Games’ theme has been installed at this location.
Other competition venues, emblematic locations of the Paris 2024 Games or the torch relay will soon display these new plaques - some forty in all, covering every arrondissement. These new plaques are part of the Games' legacy in Paris.
For example, three plaques have been placed on either side of the Pont d'Austerlitz, which will be the starting point for the opening ceremony, or a plaque celebrating the tennis, boxing and wheelchair tennis venue at Roland-Garros (16th arrondissement). Not forgetting the Arena Porte de la Chapelle, place Alice-Milliat (18th)!
The ‘Héritages’ plaques, produced by Lacroix Signalisation (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), showcase the visual identity of the Paris 2024 Games. Drawing inspiration from the Art Deco movement and symbols of historical and urban heritage, these plaques are made of enamelled iron and are fired at 860°C, mirroring the process used for conventional plates.
