Filming Paris Olympics Legacy Events — Production Support from the Team That Was There
The Paris 2024 Olympics transformed the French capital. New venues, renovated neighborhoods, upgraded infrastructure, and a reimagined relationship between the city and the Seine — the legacy of the Games extends far beyond the two weeks of competition. For media, documentary makers, brands, and researchers, the post-Olympics story is rich and ongoing.
FixersInParis is uniquely positioned to support productions exploring the Paris Olympics legacy. We were on the ground during the Games as the local production partner for NBC — work that earned two Emmy Awards. We know the venues, the people, the neighborhoods, and the stories behind the transformation.
What We Provide for Olympics Legacy Content
Venue and site access. Many Olympic venues have been repurposed — the Athletes’ Village in Saint-Denis is now a new neighborhood, the Aquatics Centre serves the community, the Grand Palais has reopened. We arrange access, filming permits, and location scouting at legacy sites.
The Seine story. One of the biggest legacies of Paris 2024 is the cleanup of the Seine for swimming. We can support productions exploring this ongoing environmental and urban story — from water treatment sites to Berges de Seine locations.
Neighborhood transformation. Saint-Denis, the 93 département, and the areas around Stade de France have undergone significant transformation. We know these areas intimately and can facilitate access to community voices, local officials, and urban development experts.
Crew. We source bilingual crew who were part of the Olympics production ecosystem and understand the venues and the context. Crew sourcing.
Equipment and logistics. Equipment rental, transport, and production management across all legacy sites.
Editorial guidance. Our founder Élie Petit covered the Olympics as a journalist and has an academic perspective on urban transformation. He can provide editorial context and connect you with relevant experts and voices.
