Co-chairmen Bernard Lapasset and Tony Estanguet unveiled their Games concept and vision at an event staged at the Philharmonie de Paris, with 500 athletes and senior politicians including Prime Minster Manuel Valls and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo in attendance.

In a 36-page bid document, Paris 2024 have promised to deliver a “new era Games” and claim 95 per cent of the venues already exist or will be temporary to minimise the investment required and deliver a clear legacy plan - a key requirement of Olympic Agenda 2020.

A total of 36 sporting venues are clustered in two zones under the plan with a “Paris Centre Zone” and a “Paris–Saint-Denis Zone”.

Temporary venues would enable beach volleyball to be held at the Eiffel Tower, equestrian at the Chateau de Versailles and archery at the Esplanade des Invalides.

The Opening and Closing Ceremonies would be staged at the Stade de France, which would also stage athletics, while Roland-Garros and Bercy Arena 1 would host tennis and basketball respectively.

It is claimed an indoor arena, called Bercy Arena II, and a new Aquatics Centre which would neighbour the Stade de France, are the only permanent sporting venues which would need to be built for the Games.

The Media Village and Olympic and Paralympic Games Village in Seine-Saint-Denis would be converted to housing after the Games, while Paris 2024 state that its location would mean 85 per cent of athletes would be within 30 minutes of their competition venue.

“Our Games vision and concept is underpinned by a real commitment to place sport at the service of society - in Paris, across France and beyond our nation’s physical borders,” Lapasset said.

“And Paris, as one of the world’s most iconic and cosmopolitan cities, would provide a unique and stunning backdrop for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games through its historic landmarks and breathtaking venues.

“Imagine athletes competing in the gaze of the Eiffel Tower, world-famous venues such as Roland Garros and the Stade de France being the stage for Olympic glory, and the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean around Marseille welcoming Olympic Sailing.

“This gives you a sense of what Paris 2024 will be like - an incredible vista for athletes to excel, fans to cheer and viewers around the world to marvel at.”

With numerous venues located near the Seine, Paris 2024 have vowed to establish a “river trail” of live sites and sponsor activation, which would be targeted at boosting public engagement.

A summer long festival would also begin on June 21, World Music Day, where activities would span arts, architecture, cuisine, fashion and music.

Paris 2024 have targeted engaging 80 per cent of the French population in regular physical activity as a direct consequence of the 2024 Games, with the aim of having sport "embedded within public policy" to boost mental health and tackle issues like obesity.

It is claimed the Olympic and Paralympic Games would help to deliver a “dynamic, new metropolitan area, uniting the beauty, economic strength and historical assets of central Paris”.

“Paris is embarking on a journey of re-invention to unleash its innovation, radiance and sense of optimism in a rapidly-changing world; our dream to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games reflects a Paris of ambition and drive, and a desire to be defined by the future," said Hidalgo, speaking just over three months after terrorist attacks left 130 dead in the city.

“New venues and facilities will touch their communities, including the Aquatics Centre, the Media Village and the Olympic and Paralympic Village located in Paris’ younger and fast-growing outer ring.

“These will deliver essential new sports facilities and 3,500 housing units for local communities after the Games and play a significant role in closing the gap between central Paris and its suburban belt.

“The opportunity to host the Games in 2024 is a unique opportunity to return Olympism to the heart of our city and make sport truly a way of life for all our citizens.”

Paris 2024, who unveiled their Eiffel Tower inspired logo last week, have also been boosted by the additions of banking and financial services company BNP Paribas and postal service La Poste as the latest sponsors of their bid to bring the Games back to the city for the first time since 1924.

They now have a total of seven sponsors, with each said to be investing €2 million (£1.6 million/$2.3 million) into the bid budget.

Budapest, Los Angeles and Rome are also in the running with a decision due to be made by the IOC at its Session in Lima in Peru in 2017.
