Context expects that there will be rolling disruptions related to road closures, venue closures, construction, and safety testing in the lead-up to the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics in Paris. We are actively monitoring the situation, but given the nature of the testing carried out by the Police and the Olympic Committee, the situation is constantly evolving. Advance notice may not always be provided, and some tours may be impacted on the ground. Context's Client Experience team will always contact clients ahead of time with alternative options when and where possible.
Major traffic disruptions are expected throughout Paris in the lead-up to the Olympic games. We recommend accounting for extra time to arrive at your meeting point and travelling by metro instead of a taxi or Uber. For day-to-day traffic updates, please visit
Anticiper les Jeux. The website includes an interactive map listing traffic restrictions, including which roads or metro stations will be closed, busy, or normal leading up to and during the Olympic games.
It's crucial to always have a copy of your passport or legal ID with you while travelling and touring in France, especially during the Olympics. The security protocols may include random ID checks near sporting events and cultural heritage sites.
Paris as a city will be a living venue with many events taking place outdoors along the Seine, in everyday neighborhoods, and at Versailles. Context is proud to see one of our iconic destinations celebrated in this way and supportive of the Olympic Committee's goal to connect the city's unique geography and history to the games. We also acknowledge that this poses new challenges to our operations and are working diligently to foresee impacts before they arise.
