The IPC's call to keep the Paralympic events in Paris has been heard. But not in the capital. Valérie Pécresse, the president of the Île-de-France region, declared herself " ready” to install the colored symbols on the facade of the regional headquarters, in the commune of Saint-Ouen, in Seine-Saint-Denis. She explained this on her X account: " Ready for the Agitos to remain on the façade of the headquarters of the Île-de-France region in Saint-Ouen, a stone's throw from the athletes' village, as a signal that obliges us in the years to come to build an inclusive and accessible region! Valérie Pécresse therefore responds favorably to the request expressed at a press conference by Craig Spence, the spokesperson for the IPC. I would love for there to be a place where agitos can stay too, asuggested the Briton in reaction to Anne Hidalgo's decision to keep the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower. In the current debate about the location of the rings, we must not forget the agitos, because the Paralympic Games were also held in Paris. » The agitos have been installed on the Arc de Triomphe since the end of June, but it is understood that they will not remain there after the end of the Paralympic Games.
