Olympic Events and Venue Guide

Our journey to Paris for the 2024 Olympics begins on July 27th, when we’ll depart Rotterdam on a train at 11:58 am, immediately after disembarking from a cruise in Norway. The train will arrive in Paris at 2:48 pm, giving us plenty of time to check into our centrally-located Airbnb in Bois de Boulogne and settle before our first event.
