24 Jul 2023 –  As we approach the symbolic 365-day countdown to the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Organising Committee commissioned Harris Interactive to conduct an opinion poll based on a sample of 2,345 people representative of the population in France aged 15 and over.

In a year’s time, France will be living to the beat of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the French continue to be delighted: 72% of them support their organisation. The positive image of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (71%) is underpinned by the many repercussions they are expected to have on the French territory.

The majority of French people believe that the Games will be beneficial to France in general: for its attractiveness as a tourist destination (65%), for economic activity (65%), for its image abroad (59%), for the sense of pride they feel in being French (58%), but also for them personally, through the development of sports infrastructures (64%) or the promotion of physical activity and sport (65%). Finally, 65% of respondents said they would be likely to follow the Games live (65%), and a third said they would attend fan zones (33%).

The full results are available here (in French only).
