To celebrate this memorable day, Chamonix is putting on a festive birthday party at Place du Triangle de l'Amite.

The square was the starting point of the athletes' parade in 1924, and in 2024 there will be dancing and music, a 'roaring twenties' atmosphere followed by cake. 

The tourist office is also organising a guided tour in the footsteps of the games.
