Security perimeters are delimited near the competition, training and accommodation sites to ensure their security. Their aim is to guarantee a high level of security while also enabling social, economic, and social activity to continue in the most satisfactory conditions possible.

Around the sites, only car and motorised traffic is affected by regulations or restrictions: the perimeters preserve pedestrian and cyclist flows.

See the interactive map of potential impacts in the Ile-de-France region.

If you need to, apply for your digital pass (Games Pass) within the secure perimeters of the Paris 2024 Games on this platform.

Only in case of emergency, i.e. when a rapid intervention is necessary to protect people and/or property (fire, malaise, injured person...), you can alert the emergency services by short numbers:

• Samu (emergency medical assistance department), for example in case of heart failure, by calling the 15
• Firefighters, for example in the event of fire or road traffic accident, by dialing the 18

In any case, you can also dial the 112. You will then be directed to the right service according to your case. The 112 can be used in all European Union countries.

All calls to these numbers are free.

If the situation is serious and you can move, you can go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital.

If your case is not urgent (headache, cold...), you can reach a doctor or a pharmacy on call, at night, on weekends and holidays.

In some departments, a single, toll-free number, 116 117, is being set up on an experimental basis. This number is used to obtain:

If the situation is not an emergency, call your local police or gendarmerie.

When activated (activation of the "attack alert" and "removal alert" plans), this toll-free number is operational 24/7.

When an alert is issued and you have information that can help investigators, call the 197 (from France). Specialized police officers respond to you to take your testimony.
