This summer, you can celebrate the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games from a hidden gem in the heart of the city—a secret garden atop the Musée d'Orsay terrace. This exclusive event offers a unique blend of Olympic festivities, art, design, and Parisian charm, all for the amazing price of 0 euros.
On July 26, 2024, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., guests will gather on the Musée d'Orsay terrace to witness the extraordinary Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Breaking with tradition, this year’s ceremony will unfold on the iconic Seine River, featuring a parade of nations with each country represented by its own unique boat. Positioned along this majestic route, the Musée d'Orsay offers an unparalleled view of the flotilla and the 10,500 athletes making their way through the heart of Paris.
Your host for the evening, Mathieu Lehanneur, the visionary designer behind the Paris 2024 Games Torch and Cauldron, will welcome you into this world of wonder. Lehanneur’s creative genius will be on full display, transforming the terrace into a magical space that pays homage to the historic architecture of the Musée d'Orsay while celebrating the spirit of the Olympics.
“As a French designer, being part of such a significant global event taking place in Paris is an honor. Hosting this evening allows me to share my passion for both art and the Olympics with fans from around the world,” says Lehanneur.
The evening will begin in the main atrium of the Musée d'Orsay, where an art historian will guide you through an exclusive tour of the world’s largest collection of Impressionist art. This intimate tour will lead you to the museum’s terrace for a series of special experiences throughout the evening.
Highlights of the evening:
Exclusive Tour of Musée d'Orsay: Dive into the rich history and vibrant colors of the world’s largest collection of Impressionist art.
Prime Viewing of the Opening Ceremony: From your elevated seat on the terrace, enjoy a spectacular view of the boats and athletes parading down the Seine.
Tasting Workshop and Refreshments: Curated by Margot LeCarpentier, Paris’s “most influential bartender,” this workshop offers a tantalizing array of refreshments and light bites inspired by French flavors.
DJ Set by Kirou: Dance the night away to the beats of Kirou, founder of the Paris-based art and music collective 99GINGER, who will create a lively and festive atmosphere.
Exclusive Access to Designs by Mathieu Lehanneur: Marvel at the intricate designs of the Olympic Torch and Cauldron, and immerse yourself in the artistic vision of your host.
This private Airbnb experience is available for 0 EUR and will take place on July 26, 2024, from 6 p.m. until 1 a.m. on July 27, 2024. Booking opens on June 13th at 3 p.m. CET on airbnb.com/orsayexperience. The experience is available to 30 guests (15 requesting guests plus one each). Guests are responsible for their travel to and from Paris and accommodations. They will also need to comply with local regulations and obtain a digital pass (Pass Jeux) to access the Musée d'Orsay.
This event promises to be a celebration of art, culture, and the Olympic spirit, offering a night to remember for those lucky enough to attend.
