Less than 100 days to go until the heart of Paris beats to the rhythm of the Olympic Games. This countdown gave On Location, the International Olympic Committee's official hospitality supplier, the opportunity to present its VIP offer for the general public and businesses, in an ephemeral showroom near the Grand Rex. \"\u00a0The craze is now over. Since we entered the Olympic year, we've broken our sales record every month.<\/em>\" explained Fabrice Favetto-Bon, Managing Director France of On Location, who was responsible for delivering the \"\u00a0the largest hospitality programme ever deployed<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\"for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. \"\u00a0This programme, which we've been working on for the last three years, has been designed to reflect France and its expertise, French excellence through its greatest houses and its greatest chefs, so that all our customers can leave with the experience of a lifetime.<\/em>\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gastronomy is obviously at the heart of this experience, a team of 46 chefs and pastry chefs<\/strong> taking turns at each of the Olympic sites and in the venues offered in the capital by On Location to offer the best of French cuisine to VIP guests. Michelin-starred chef St\u00e9phanie Le Quellec and pastry chef Pierre Chirac will be officiating at the opening ceremony as part of unique hospitality packages on bridges over the Seine. With an unbeatable view over the parade of athletes, the price is also unbeatable, with the Bridge 360 package priced at 9,500 euros per person, and other - relatively - more affordable packages available along the quays or at the Trocad\u00e9ro.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Among the other members of this dream team behind the stove, OnLocation has also selected Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Anton, Amaury Bouhours, Alexandre Gauthier and Nina M\u00e9tayer. Other participants, chefs Pascal Barbot and Gilles V\u00e9rot and pastry chef Oph\u00e9lie Bar\u00e8s, gave a foretaste of the top-of-the-range gastronomy on offer in the official hospitality boxes and lounges during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games during the presentation of the hospitality programme.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As for the packages, which all include precious passes to attend the competitions but can also include accommodation in three- to five-star hotels, they come in the following varieties three offers: Gold, Silver and Bronze<\/strong>. From \u20ac165, the Bronze package gives you access, before the sporting session, to shared lounges with a friendly atmosphere and a street food offer accompanied by a selection of wines and beers. The Silver package, from \u20ac295, includes service before and during the competition, with Champagne on arrival, a top-of-the-range buffet and selected wines, plus a souvenir gift.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As for the Gold packages, offered in a shared elite lounge for a price starting at 795 euros, they include exclusive service before, during and after the sports session, a gourmet menu and premium wines and spirits, this selection being made, as for the other offers, by a Bordeaux wine merchant, Maison Garros. All this is complemented by private boxes with ultra-personalised services and, at the Stade de France during the athletics competitions, by finish line\" packages<\/strong> whose name says it all about the quality of the places on offer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But, like the Olympic Games, which will be moving out of the traditional confines of sports venues and taking over some of Paris's most famous landmarks - the Grand Palais, the Place de la Concorde, the Champ de Mars - , OnLocation is also holding a show in town<\/strong>outside the stadiums. In addition to the Palais Brongniart hosting Team USA House, there is a convivial fan zone at the Palais de Tokyo, Clubhouse 24, where you can meet up before or after a sporting event, with tickets included in the package starting at 85 euros.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For its part, the Maison de l'Am\u00e9rique Latine will host a more exclusive and elegant space, Salon 24, where guests can relax before or after the competition over a cocktail reception, entertainment and interactive activities. And last but not least, the most famous monument in the world, the Eiffel Tower, will be home to Gustave 24 on the first floor, where a limited number of guests will be able to enjoy an exceptional gastronomic experience more than 57 metres above the City of Light. Higher, louder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
