"On 08/10/2022, Place de la Bastille (Paris, FRA) will celebrate Para sports in honour of the Paralympic Games: a spectacular, accessible and festive taste of the Paralympic Games in Paris in 2024," announced the COJO Paris 2024, on 12/09/2022.

"The famous Parisian square will be transformed for a day into a vast playground with spectacular sports exhibitions. The main stage will vibrate to the sound of musical performances from a line-up of artists coming together in an evening concert," added the Organising Committe, which specified that Andrew Parsons (BRA), president of the International Paralympic Committee will also be present for the occasion.

"With less than two years to go before the Paris 2024 Games, we are keen to give a flavour of the Paralympic Games in our country by organising the first Paralympic Day in France. On Saturday 08/10/2022, at Place de la Bastille, come and meet exceptional athletes, discover their disciplines and practise Para sports," said Tony Estanguet, president of the Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.
