O rienteering on the way to Paris 2024.
Orienteering is an outdoor activity that combines reflection and physical
commitment. This sport, which is practiced alone, or as a family activity,
from children to veterans, allows you to discover different terrains in each
race and to propose a new adventure to everyone’s pace. Orienteering is
one of the outdoor activities taught in the school environment, and is
highly appreciated by the various school sports federations such as UNSS,
USEP and UGSEL with which the French Orienteering Federation (FFCO) has
partnership agreements.

ESTANGUET, 2024 Olympic Game Organizing Comitee
President (right) the Olympic Games of 2024 in mind, for which orienteering is officially
nominated to become one of the 5 additional sports that will join the official
program. In autumn 2019, the first edition of the Paris Orienteering City Race will take place in the center of Paris
during the «Day without cars». It will be a great event for all audiences that will discover Paris in another
way, with their map in hand, looking for the tags that must be found in an imposed order, while discovering hidden
facets of the fantastic Parisian heritage. This event should take place every two years. But the biggest
challenge is the bid for the organization of the World Orienteering Championships 2022 for what will be its second
edition in urban format. So we fully rely on your support for help us in this project that will show Paris in the eyes
of the world in a way never proposed before.
Michel EDIAR, FFCO President
Orienteering in Ile de France, an ideal terrain to develop its different formats: sprint,
relay, middle and long distance...
At first sight, Ile de France, and in particular Paris, could seem a territory unfit for the deve-
lopment of so-called outdoor activities. And yet! For a long time now, the Region has been
known for orienteering, for the technical nature of its forests, especially in the Fontaine-
bleau massif. In recent years, clubs in Paris and the suburbs of Ile de France have seized
the opportunities offered to develop urban races. Thanks to the help of the Region, the
Regional Olympic and Sports Committee of Ile de France and the Regional Direction of
Youth, Sports and Social Cohesion, the Ile de France Orienteering League values all ac-
tions as close as possible to the public: development of accessible equipment (maps);
agreements between clubs and schools, with the Regional University Sports Federation; organization of events.
For some years now, Ile de France clubs have used to organize major urban events, including the Paris
O ‘Tour in 2014 and the Paris City Race in 2017, which allowed riders from all over the hexagon and foreign countries,
to walk down , day or night, map in hand, the prestigious places of Paris and its surroundings to find at the corner
of an alley, a staircase...the tag as much sought while discovering, through the routes taken, the unsuspected faces
of past or present heritage.
With the major organizations planned in the coming years, the Ile de France Orienteering League is acqui-
ring the necessary skills to host the WOC 2022 and hopes to be able to count on the support of the Paris region
and of all the French orientors to help to promote Paris and Ile de France, even beyond the orienteering activity.
Dominique BRET, President of the Ile de France Orienteering Regional Federation
