The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 47 • GRAND PALAIS The Grand Palais on the Champs-Elysées in the 8th arrondissement of Paris is an iconic historic monument that was “built by the French Republic to honour the glory of art” for the 1900 Paris Exposition. For over a century, it has hosted many artistic events and a variety of incredible sporting events, spanning horse shows (including the Saut Hermès show jumping competition), boxing (a 1942 European welterweight match won by Marcel Cerdan), as well as fencing (the 2010 World Fencing Championships) 14 . In 2024, the Grand Palais will host the Olympic and Paralympic fencing and taekwondo events. It will be redeveloped for the Paris 2024 Games to improve the spectator experience. Normal operations will resume at the Grand Palais after the Games. © – Luxigon 14.
