Athletes' Village
Located in the municipalities of Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine and L’Île-Saint-Denis, the Athletes’ Village will host the competitors for the duration of the Games.
It will then become a new neighbourhood with housing, shops, facilities and green open spaces.
The Athletes’ Village in 2025
Fronting the Seine, the Athletes’ Village is a project that links the urban municipalities of Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine and L’Île-Saint-Denis.
Spanning from the historical part of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine to the Pleyel district on the Saint-Denis side, the project is being developed very close to one of the largest stations in the Grand Paris Express network. With the centre of the Village opening onto the Seine, a new pedestrian walkway will be constructed over the Seine river to provide access to l’Ile-Saint-Denis, enhancing the connection between two river banks.
Upon completion of the Games, the athletes’ accommodation will be transformed in order to create a lively neighbourhood available to all and offering a mix of uses. The Village will then contain both family and student accommodation (including 25-40% social housing, with the proportion varying by municipalities), commercial activities and a variety of shops and services on the ground floor of the buildings. The neighbourhood will also benefit from new public facilities: two schools (nursery and primary schools), 2 nurseries, a renovated high school and new sports facilities.
________
The Athletes’ Village will embody 21st century urban development
________
With around 7 hectares of green open spaces, nature plays an essential role within the Athletes’ Village site. New parklands, public open spaces and renovated river banks will offer places to walk, relax and practice leisure activities.
The Athletes’ Village embodies 21st century urban planning, through good energy performance, carbon neutrality and strong emphasis on biodiversity. The redevelopment of the area is also designed to promote “living together” and the development of an inclusive society, taking into account the diversity of needs of each citizen, in particular those with disabilities.
