Around thirty lucky people will have the opportunity to attend the parade of 10,500 athletes on the Seine and meet Mathieu Lehanneur, designer and creator of the torch for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
This is a unique event which will be held on the night of July 26 to 27. Around thirty lucky people will have the opportunity to enjoy the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games from the terrace of the Musée d’Orsay. Last month, Airbnb had already revealed the possibility of spending a night behind the museum’s emblematic clock. The two people selected will join the 28 others on the terrace during the festivities.
The evening will begin “in the nave of the Musée d’Orsay, where an art historian will offer guests an exclusive tour of the largest collection of impressionist art in the world”specifies Airbnb. “The visit will end on the museum terrace, transformed into a secret garden offering an unparalleled view of the Seine”. Among those invited will be Mathieu Lehanneur, designer and creator of the torch and cauldron for the Paris 2024 Games.
Terrace of the Orsay Museum
The host of the evening not only designed the room behind the clock but also the smallest details of the terrace. “Our design team paid homage to the facade of the Musée d’Orsay by installing arches. They open the way to a wonderful world”, explains Mathieu Lehanneur. The designer’s creations will also be on display, including the Olympic torch.
