Paris in 2024 - avoiding Olympics?
Hello, my family and I want to travel to France and Spain in 2024 but want to avoid being in Paris for the Olympics, which run from July 26-Aug. 11. Does anyone know how far in advance of the Olympic Games do travel costs increase and hotel availability decrease? For example, would we be affected by higher flight costs, etc. if we were to travel to Paris in mid June 2024? How about in early July 2024? Any tips are appreciated.

I should think from as early as March/April there will be support staff and crew coming to Paris to prepare for the games. There is no way to know how this will ultimately affect prices, other than to note that increase demand will likely increase prices and limit availability.
The sad result is that when prices increase, they unlikely will return to pre Olympic levels. 2023 could be the best year to travel to Paris.

Not all Olympic venues are in Paris. Note on map (link below) several events in Nantes, Bordeaux, Lyon, St-Etienne, Nice, Marseilles. Avoiding the "Olympic effect" in France in 2024 would require detailed planning and perhaps exclude Paris entirely.

I haven't posted very much in the Europe forum these last three years, what with our wings being clipped, but we have bookings to return this year; next month the Netherlands, and then Wales and the Lake District in May.
