How to get around during the Olympic torch relay in Seine-Saint-Denis (July 25 and 26)?


What is the route of the Olympic flame in Seine-Saint-Denis?

Note that more than half of the towns in the department are crossed. 

Roads: what are the traffic and parking rules on July 25 and 26 in Seine-Saint-Denis? 

Generally speaking, parking is prohibited along the route, and traffic is generally prohibited 1 hour before the passage of the flame and up to 10 minutes afterwards. Some routes will be impacted for a longer period and the information can be found directly on the roads. Streets located near the route may also be affected.

The impacts in Seine-Saint-Denis concern the towns crossed by the flame and the Saint-Denis / Pleyel area. For these people, it is recommended to avoid taking the car on July 25 and 26, and to choose public transport or an alternative mode of travel such as cycling. On July 25, this concerns a large number of cities detailed below. On July 26, the flame only crossed the city of Saint-Denis in the morning (then Paris).

What are the solutions for getting around Seine-Saint-Denis on July 25 and 26?

To limit the impact of the Torch Relay on your travel, it is advisable to postpone your travel, if possible, particularly by motorized vehicle in impacted areas. Travel in the St Denis / Pleyel / La Plaine area is particularly affected. 

If this is not possible, here are some tips depending on your situation. 

  • Favor traveling on foot or by bike for short distances
  • On the road as in public transport, allow extra travel time. 
  • Adapt your times to avoid the passage of the Flame, the start or end of an event, the back and forth linked to the opening ceremony.

You are traveling by motorized vehicle

  • Plan an alternate route around security perimeters. You can use the interactive map to visualize the perimeters and a route calculator which will take into account traffic in real time.
  • Avoid passing through areas that are in the path of the flame. 
  • Park on streets that are not used by the flame route and outside the red perimeters
  • Follow motorway information in real time on radio 107.7

You travel by public transport

  • Favor lines, stations and stations that do not directly serve a competition site or celebration sites such as Georges-Valbon Park
  • Beforehand: prepare your trip using the interactive map on the anticiperlesjeux.gouv.fr site or the city pages. 
  • D-day : consult the Île-de-France Mobilités application or website to inform you about traffic conditions in real time on your line and check the traffic conditions of your trams (T1 and T8) and buses
