While waiting for the Olympic athletes, Jean, an engineering student, welcomes us to his 19 square meters. This is ten more than in a standard student room. “It’s still pretty big. I think this is because there is access for people with limited mobility.”, He says. After all, these apartments are also designed for Paralympic athletes. So will Teddy Riner sleep in this bed? Mystery, the allocation of numbers will be done next year. The only certainty is that the furniture will change and the kitchenettes will disappear.
Since its opening a month ago, the corridors and rooms of this brand new building have resonated with the sound of the 112 students who occupy it. They wonder which athletes will be able to succeed them. “It’s a special feeling when you say to yourself ‘this is the place where we usually go, this is the place where the Olympics will take place’ “testifies Antoine, a second-year student at the Higher Institute of Mechanics in Paris.
The village housed 10,000 athletes.
Meanwhile, there is already life. In a short time, many parties were organized. Valerie, who manages the building, keeps her cool but above all helps these students. “I do them a favor, if they need a document, if they need information, if they have a problem, they come to me, I involve the company”she explains.

She also talks to the village construction superintendent to discuss what works more or less well in the building. At first glance, everything starts well. “The developer is proud that the buildings are starting to be occupied. The area is coming alive and we are very proud to have the first happy residents move into the rooms.”smiles Henri Specht.
3,000 workers are still working to complete this pharaonic project. Delivery is scheduled for December 31, when students will have to vacate the premises in order to arrange everything for the athletes. In the summer of 2024, more than 10,000 people will be accommodated here.
