In the heart of the Olympic Houses in Paris, at Parc La Villette, stands Brazil House, a vibrant and festive space that encapsulates the essence of Brazil in Paris 2024. Covering 5000 square meters and with the capacity to host 5000 visitors daily, this venue is one of the most exciting and culturally rich meeting points of the Olympic Games for all its guests.
Brazil House features a large outdoor area where various sports such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, climbing, and skateboarding can be practiced. This area not only invites physical activity but also provides a dynamic and participatory environment for visitors with food stalls around. “Visiting Brazil House has been an incredible experience. The energy and culture here are simply contagious,” commented Mariana Lopes, a visitor from Rio de Janeiro. Surrounding the sports area are several shops and bars offering culinary delights, traditional Brazilian drinks, and even the iconic Havaianas sandals. A sailboat anchored in the middle of this outdoor area adds a unique and authentic touch to the ambiance.
Urban art, such as collages and graffiti, reflects Brazil’s rich culture and society. These exhibitions allow visitors to immerse themselves in Brazilian creativity and artistic expression. Music and dances like axé, forró, and samba are highlighted throughout the venue. “I loved the variety of sports activities and being able to enjoy Brazilian music and food. Definitely, a slice of Brazil in Paris,” said João Pedro, a tourist from São Paulo.
Brazil House also hosts the studio of the Brazilian Olympic Channel, from where live broadcasts of Brazilian TV programs are made. A tent decorated with Brazilian motifs and a huge screen offers a vibrant and colorful space where visitors can relax, watch competitions, and enjoy the atmosphere. The official mascot of Brazil House roams the venue, available for photos and entertaining visitors of all ages. “The decoration is spectacular, and the tent with urban art is my favorite part. Without a doubt, a place to visit more than once during the Games,” said Ana Maria, a Brazilian student in Paris.
