Media Cluster
Located in the municipalities of Dugny, Le Bourget and La Courneuve, the Media Cluster will host journalists from all over the world during the Games, and will provide the venue for the climbing and shooting events as well as various training sites.
Afterwards, there will be a new neighbourhood in Dugny, a new vegetated area in the Georges Valbon Park in La Courneuve and a new sports and school centre in Le Bourget. All of these will be subtly integrated into an exceptional environment, thus creating a link between the local municipalities.
