The City of Paris made its application for the organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024 official on 23 June 2015. In September 2017, the International Olympic Committee (ICO) decided to award the 2024 and 2028 Games at the same time: to Paris and Los Angeles, ensuring that each would organise an edition of the Games.  
The last games organised by Paris were held in 1924. It was also during that year that the first modern Olympic Village (used to accommodate the athletes and providing a high level of comfort for the time) was built, in Colombes, with the vision of Pierre de Coubertin.

The Olympic Games will take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024, and the Paralympic Games from 28 August to 8 September 2024.

SOLIDEO is the public body responsible for delivering the Olympic and Paralympic infrastructures (constructions and renovations), which will remain after the Games. It is therefore not responsible for any temporary structures. There are 58 Olympic and Paralympic projects under its supervision. Several of them are under SOLIDEO’s direct management: the Olympic and Paralympic Village and the Media Cluster urban development zones, as well as several public facilities.

The Paris 2024 Organisation Committee has the mission of planning, organising, financing and delivering the Games, in accordance with the host city contract signed between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the French Sports Organisation (CNOSF) and the City of Paris. Paris 2024 is thus in charge of temporary facilities.
