The Olympic Games will affect some tours and travel plans, so it\u2019s important to stay up to date on what\u2019s open, how to get to places you plan to visit, and any requirements for travel. Please note that dates in this guide are subject to change \u2014 please check official sites for information about individual attractions and opening times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Paris Olympics will be held at various places around the capital from July 26 to Aug. 11, 2024. The Paralympic Games follow from Aug. 28 to Sept. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before, during, and after those events, there will be disruptions in the city that can affect tourists: security perimeters, stadium builds, changes to traffic flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, areas along the Seine will have traffic limitations, including road closures and blocked pedestrian access. And access to some attractions will be limited to those who have proof of prior registration to visit them (via a QR code \u2014 more on this below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click any of the links below to jump ahead to the related section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#eiffel-tower-tour\">Eiffel Tower Tour Details<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#notre-dame-tour\">Notre Dame Tour Details<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#louvre-tour\">Louvre Tour Details<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#latin-quarter-tour\">Latin Quarter Tour Details<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#other-tours\">If You Can\u2019t Tour the Eiffel Tower<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#qr-code\">QR Codes for Paris Travel<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#faq\">FAQs<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#resources\">More Resources<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to know for your tour<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>We wrote this mainly for our guests taking an ExperienceFirst tour this summer, but if you\u2019re another traveler to Paris, welcome!

But everyone pretty much agrees it\u2019s not the place to go for the best views of Paris. For one, there\u2019s no view of the Eiffel Tower when you\u2019re standing on the actual tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a postcard-perfect view of the tower and the rest of Paris, try Montparnasse Tower. The city&#8217;s only skyscraper, the building measures nearly 690 feet (210 meters) tall with an observation deck at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/paris-tours\/montparnasse-walking-tour\/\">Montparnasse tour<\/a> includes a walking tour of the historic neighborhood with stories of the 1920s Cafe Society, the French Resistance, and more.

Paris will require a QR code for admittance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system of having a QR code for popular attractions was set up by the city to keep everyone safe and ensure smooth movements throughout Paris during the busy Olympic Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city has implemented perimeters around some important monuments, called the &#8220;Grey Zone.\u201d For access to this restricted area, you need to be able to show you have a reason to be there, such as for the purpose of attending a tour. This is what the QR codes let you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get to the perimeter, you\u2019ll be asked to show proof of permission to enter in the form of a QR code called a Pass Jeux (which translates to Games Pass, if you\u2019re curious).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to apply for the code at least two weeks before arrival \u2014 but more than 15 days is preferable \u2014 to allow for processing time. Although sometimes it can be processed quicker, that\u2019s not guaranteed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pass-jeux.gouv.fr\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apply for the Pass Jeux online<\/a>, but if you booked a tour with us, we also sent you an email with instructions as well as helpful tips to submit your application from our own experience. There are a few gotchas, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your QR code doesn\u2019t arrive in time for your tour, please remember to cancel at least 24 hours prior to departure, and we will cancel you free of charge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">FAQs about Paris travel and your tour<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter.jpg\" alt=\"Panth\u00e9on\" class=\"wp-image-24130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter-500x376.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/06\/Pantheon-in-Paris-Latin-Quarter-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the info you need to know before you visit. We\u2019ll be adding to this FAQ list as we go (and as our guests ask more questions), so be sure to check back as we\u2019ll be updating this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m late for my tour?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strongly encourage \u2014 even urge \u2014 you to arrive extra early for your tour. For most of our tours, we recommend arriving 15 minutes before the start of your tour, but during the Paris Olympics travel season, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be extra congestion on public transit and in the streets, as well as the chance for detours due to route closures. You don&#8217;t want to be rushing to try to make your tour, and if you arrive late, odds are you won&#8217;t be able to catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arriving early avoids all this stress, so plan to get there a half hour before your tour start time. Be sure to check your meeting point on your confirmation email. You can also find it on the related <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/paris-tours\/\">Paris tours<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the cancellation policy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer a full refund up to 24 hours before your tour if you need to cancel. You can also reschedule your tour during this time for no additional fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within 24 hours of your tour, we can&#8217;t offer refunds since we&#8217;ve already incurred costs on our end. However, we understand the Summer Olympics will be an unusually busy time, and guests are more likely to miss their tour for one reason or another. Despite planning, life happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, we&#8217;re offering a credit for the full price of the tour good in any of our destinations (NYC, LA, Barcelona, and more) for up to three years. Guests who&#8217;ve booked a tour during the 2024 Summer Olympics and who miss their tour can apply for this credit by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/contact\/\">contacting customer service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if I don\u2019t have my QR code to enter the restricted area?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have the QR code, called the Pass Jeux, for your specific attraction or location, we won&#8217;t be able to help you enter the perimeter. City officials will be set up along those perimeters and checking passes. If you arrive without your pass, you will miss your tour. If you don\u2019t have it at least 24 hours before your tour, you can cancel your tour for a full refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you arrive without a QR code and are denied entry, you can still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/contact\/\">contact customer service<\/a> as soon as possible, and we will try to move you to another tour in the city with your credit from your missed tour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For missed tours due to complications with the Summer Olympic Games, we&#8217;ll offer a travel credit good for 3 years from your tour date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will I be able to get to the tour meeting point even with the road closures for the Olympics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you will be able to get to our meeting point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are lots of closures due to the Olympics on both roads and metro stations. We recommend you leave plenty of time to arrive at the meeting point, arriving at least half an hour before the scheduled departure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you watch the Paris Olympics for free?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you&#8217;ll be in Paris during the Olympics and want to see if you can catch any of the events? Good news! You can view some of the Olympics events for free.
