Defile 14 Juillet 2024 Paris

Post by planefixer »

A very early heads up, which we noticed while attending this event in 2023. The French media is reporting that because of the Olympics in Paris in 2024, the actual Bastille Day parade will take place in a different location to normal. This was announced by Macron at this year's event.

The parade will take place between Vincennes and La Nation.

The article that states this can be seen here [it is in French]

Change of plans.

Due to the Olympic Games, the traditional July 14 parade must leave the Champs-Élysées.
An alternative route, between Porte de Vincennes and Nation, had been announced, but, faced with “logistical and technical difficulties”, the very chic Avenue Foch (16th century) won.
So the defilé is on the Avenue Foch between the Arc de Triomphe and the Boulevard Périphérique.

Flight direction will be more Southwest-Northeast (was Northwest-Southeast)
Will be interesting to know in which direction they go (west-east or visa versa).
And to find a good spot with some few on the aircraft.
