While events will be organized all around the country, in Paris, rue de Rivoli — from Place de la Concorde to Saint-Paul — will transform into a vibrant Sport Boulevard where you can discover a wide range of sports disciplines over more than 2.5 kilometers, chat with 46 sports federations, and even meet athletes from the French Team. The day will end with one last lighting of the Olympic Cauldron before next summer. We’ve put together our little selection of sports to try out on this occasion and who knows, you might just discover a new passion!
