Paris 2024 organisers are holding a series of Grandes braderies des Jeux – Games flea markets – across France to sell off souvenirs, with prices starting at €1.
In the spirit of the ‘reuse and recycle’ Games, the organisers want to ensure that nothing is wasted and have decided to hold a series of flea markets in towns and cities around France.
On sale will be items including the towels used by the athletes, the distinctive green uniforms (and pink hats) of the Games volunteers, flags and other decorative items from competition sites plus official merchandise such as T-shirts and cups.
