Transport of athletes by train

    In Paris and throughout France, no fewer than 15,000 athletes will be traveling to the various event venues this summer. We are therefore providing rail transport for some of the teams of athletes and referees. It's a role we've already played for major sporting events held in France, such as the Euro soccer tournament in 2016 and the Rugby World Cup in 2023.
