Understanding everything about the perimeters of secure sites

There are two main categories of scope: The “ORGANIZER” scope and the “STATE” scope

The “ORGANIZER” perimeter

These are the security perimeters set up in the immediate vicinity of the Olympic and Paralympic sites (Concorde, Trocadéro, Eiffel Tower, Stade de France, etc.). Access to these areas is strictly regulated: Only people and vehicles duly authorized and accredited by the organizer, Paris 2024, or in possession of tickets during the events, will be able to access the sites.

The "STATE" perimeter

These are the perimeters implemented by the Police Prefecture for security reasons. Three types of perimeters have been defined, from the most restrictive to the least restrictive: Grey / red / blue perimeters.

Grey perimeter

(Protection perimeter)

No access for DHL vehicles

These (grey) perimeters are intended to ensure safety at Olympic and Paralympic sites. They are located in the immediate vicinity of the sites, and only spectators with tickets and people accredited by the organiser will be able to access them.

Red perimeter

(Perimeter restricted to motorised traffic)

authorized access for DHL vehicles by special dispensation

These perimeters aim to ensure a high level of security. Pedestrians, cyclists will be able to access it, as will categories of people authorised with their vehicle including our DHL drivers who will have to register upstream to have traffic authorisations.

Important: the red zones will be active 2H30 before the events and 1h after the tests.

Blue perimeter

(Traffic regulation perimeter)

authorized access to DHL vehicles

These perimeters aim to reduce flows around the red perimeters, by diviating upstream transit, passage, crossing traffic, while preserving all flows of residents or related to economic, social, cultural activities.

Access will be authorised to any driver able to justify a need for access, at a point of passage: delivery (including our DHL drivers), troubleshooting, moving, access to home or work.

Important: the blue zones will be active 2H30 before the events and 1h after the events.
