A great turnout
Behind their screens, in the bleachers or along the streets, spectators at the Paris 2024 Games were in for a treat. In the heart of the capital, some venues were buzzing with excitement. Whatever their age, gender, background or disability, everyone wanted to be part of it, with one idea in mind: to celebrate and share with these athletes who have given their all.
Club France, a crazy atmosphere
At Club France, the two EDF areas were packed to the rafters. Over 100,000 visitors flocked to both the Grande Halle de la Villette and the outdoor area. The aim was to test their skills through innovative workshops combining art, sport and digital technology. It was also an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the Group's businesses and its contribution to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The luckiest visitors even had the chance to meet the athletes, who regularly visited these two stands, before sharing with them some unforgettable moments every evening on the Grande Scène.
At the EDF Pavilion, a playful immersion in sport
Located a stone's throw from the Champs Élysées and Place de la Concorde, the EDF Pavilion will have enchanted more than 55,000 visitors with its immersive, colorful design. They discovered the innovations developed by the EDF Group to help make the Paris 2024 Games more sober and more responsible.
