Renting at the best price for the Olympic Games

The 2024 Olympic Games will take place in Paris from 26 July to 11 August.

This major, long-awaited competition will draw millions of visitors from all over the world. Paris therefore needs to get ready to welcome huge numbers of guests, and above all to accommodate them.

What rates are being charged?

The median nightly rate shifts regularly. Currently set at 603 € across all neighbourhoods and types of accommodation, this index varies from one arrondissement to another. Thanks to the OptiRental website, you can track rates in real time by arrondissement in Paris, as well as in Hauts-de-Seine and Seine-Saint-Denis.

The surge in prices is especially noticeable in central Paris, where most of the Olympic venues are located.

Which amenities, at what price?

To get the most value out of your rental, certain amenities prove particularly appealing. We have picked out the three we believe will be genuinely useful, along with the financial value they add to your property.

A television: the median rate for a property with a TV is 686 € per night.

Accessibility: single-storey, step-free properties will be in especially high demand, with a median rate of 719 €.

Keeping cool: if your property has air conditioning, the median nightly rate rises to 1 026 €.

Adjusting for how many people you can host

It is not always easy to set your price according to how many guests you can accommodate.

If you host a couple, the median rate currently sits at around 360 € a night, whereas for a group of at least six people it climbs to 1 141 €. And of course, the Paralympic Games should not be forgotten. Optirental has put together a dedicated page to help you rent at the best price during the event.

We hope this has shed a little more light on the tricky business of renting in Paris during the Olympic Games. By following this advice, you will be better prepared to welcome guests from around the world and to make the most of this exceptional period.
