Main Dining Hall
The Main Dining Hall, also known as Cité du Cinéma, is located in the heart of the Residential Zone, close to the Transport Mall. It was built in 1933 to power the Paris metro and was later converted into film studios.
The Main Dining Hall will have a seating capacity of around 3,000 and will be open 24 hours a day from 18 August 2024. During pre-opening, one patio will be open from 06:00-10:00 for breakfast, from 12:00-15:00 for lunch and from 18:00-23:00 for dinner.
The Main Dining Hall will feature five food courts serving dishes from all over the world. For ease of movement, all food courts will offer a variety of high-demand products. Each area will feature a particular theme, including French, international, Asian and halal.
A menu, rotated on an eight-day cycle, will provide a wide range of meal choices, and will cater to all nutritional and dietary requirements, taking into consideration cultural, nutritional, religious, and vegetarian requirements.
Restaurant staff will be available to help anyone who needs assistance.
The Village caterers will follow the appropriate guidelines regarding halal and kosher meals. Kosher meals will be on request only. More information about the order process will be communicated later.
At the entrance to the Cité du Cinéma, there will be an IPC athletes’ space including a voting station for the IPC Athletes’ Council and a corner for the World Anti-Doping Agency outreach programme.
Main Dining Hall Access
There will be two entrances to the Main Dining Hall:
- The main entrance, near the Transport Mall, will be open 24 hours a day.
- A secondary entrance, near the river Seine, will be closed from 23:00 (opening hours will be confirmed later).
Before entering the Main Dining Hall, residents will be asked to place their bags in the baggage check area, a secure environment located close to the main entrance, with a smaller storage area located near the Seine entrance.
Only individuals with knife & fork dining privileges on their PIAC or those with a meal voucher will be allowed to dine in the Main Dining Hall. Also, access to the Main Dining Hall will not be permitted with glass bottles, with the exception of reusable bottles.
In compliance with food safety rules, residents may only remove hand-held food and drink from the Main Dining Hall (for example, a piece of fruit or an item currently being consumed). Disinfection and/ or hand-washing stations will be set up at the entrance to each restaurant. Gloves will also be available in front of the buffets in each restaurant.
Any residents unable to eat at the Main Dining Hall due to injury or illness may have food collected for them by a member of their NPC.
A form will be available at the Catering Desk at the entrance to the Main Dining Hall.
This authorisation form must be signed by an NPC doctor or by Paris 2024 medical staff. The form will also be available at the polyclinic for Paris 2024 medical staff only. The designated person must have knife & fork dining privileges and show the required authorisation.
