To celebrate the spirit of the Olympic Games and share this major international sporting event, the City of Marseille has set up its Club 2024 on the Prado Beaches, near the Olympic venues, at a location known as “La Mer de Sable” (8th arrondissement).
Adjacent to the Olympic Marina and just steps away from the David Roundabout, Club 2024 has recently opened. This eco-built village spans nearly 8,000 square meters and offers a stunning view of the South Harbor of Marseille. Admission is free and open to everyone. The village features structures made of wood and coconut fibers, is powered by solar panels, and emphasizes waste management with selective sorting, recycling, and composting.
It can accommodate up to 2,500 people simultaneously and provides a variety of sports, cultural, and festive activities for all ages, including lectures, themed evenings, sports animations, and exhibitions.
Basketball, climbing, swimming, as well as more immersive and playful stands that let you step into the shoes of surfers or fencers.
Petanque courts, foosball tables, and other recreational areas will provide families with fun between broadcasts.
A giant screen will showcase the key moments of the competition and the opening ceremony.
