Cocorico, we may be very proud to be hosting the Olympic Games in France in the summer of 2024, but the months of July and August, usually so calm in the capital, are shaping up to be very hectic. Luckily, we’ve got a great plan for escaping Paris for the duration of the festivities, for a summer in a quiet setting in the heart of nature.
The program for the Olympic Games in France in 2024
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are the biggest event ever organized in France. For 16 days, Paris will become the capital of the sporting world, attracting large numbers of tourists. What’s more, the organization and the Olympic Committee wanted to facilitate access to the sporting events with numerous competitions outside the stadium, i.e. right in the city. This is great for the human and sporting experience, but also promises a few hiccups in the daily lives of local residents.
The dates of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games :
Olympic Torch Relay route: May 8 to July 26, 2024
Olympic Games: July 26 to August 11, 2024
Paralympic Games: August 28 to September 8, 2024
A stay in Champagne to escape the crowds at the Paris Olympics
Bar-sur-Aube, in Champagne, is 2.5 hours from the center of Paris by car, and 2.20 hours by train from Gare de l’Est.
This summer, get away from the crowds and enjoy the bubbles of Champagne at the unusual Champagne village. In the commune of Bar-sur-Aube, on the Côte des Bars. The Côte des Bars is a surprising wine-growing region: for a long time, it was only a subsidiary production zone for the big Reims houses, but now it’s a fully-fledged Champagne production zone. This history is what makes it so special, and wine-lovers will enjoy meeting the small producers and strolling through the vineyards on foot, by bike, on horseback or in a motorized vehicle.
While staying in Bar-sur-Aube, you can also enjoy a day of fun at the Nigloland amusement park, just 10 km from the unusual village.
Other points of interest in the region: Clairvaux Abbey, glass-blowing at Bayel, discovering or rediscovering the work of General de Gaulle at Colombey-les-deux-Eglises, the forest and lakes of the Orient.
