The Department is also a relay territory for the Olympic torch, which will pass through France a few days before the opening of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, in early 2024. to honor all the volunteers whose commitment is exemplary as well as the team management , who do an amazing job, and of course our athletes, whether amateur or professional.

To promote the Côte d’Or, its inhabitants, its heritage, on the occasion of this planetary event and to promote sport in all its forms and in all territories, the Department has decided to engage with the CDOS in the Olympic approach . “The rise to power around 2024 will pass through the organization of major events that will mobilize the entire population of the Côte-d’Orienne”, Monique Yazzourh points out. The Department has already started the creation of a “Côte-d’Or Volunteer Team”, made up of 24 volunteers who will be involved during the Games.
In 2023, the great Côte d’Or Olympics will be organized for the young people of the Côte d’Orients, to make all the territories vibrate to the rhythm of this great sports festival.
In this proactive approach, the Department, named a pivotal territory by the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, will soon ask the municipalities of the Côte-d’Or to identify the requests and activities envisaged in the territories.
“The Côte-d’Or is a sports territory that has more than 3,000 sports facilities serving more than 120,000 licensees, or a quarter of the population of the Côte-d’Orienne, and everything will be built to excite the Côte-d’ Oriens at the pace of the Games! concludes President Sauvadet.
