Paris 2024 Paralympic Medals

The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games medals embody French history and artistry. Each medal incorporates a piece of original iron from the Eiffel Tower, making them both symbolic and priceless.

The front of the medal features a graphic representation of the Eiffel Tower viewed from below. To allow athletes to distinguish their medals by touch, the gold, silver, and bronze medals have distinct engravings and universal braille, honouring Louis Braille, the French inventor of the braille system.

The other side of the medal includes a hexagon-shaped piece of the original Eiffel Tower iron. Preserved during 20th-century renovations, these historical fragments now enrich the medals given to Paralympic athletes.

By winning a medal at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, athletes will be able to bring home a piece of the French landmark. This design celebrates France’s rich cultural heritage and honours athletic achievements.

In collaboration with French jeweler Chaumet, Paris 2024 aims to further strengthen the connection between sport, culture, and heritage. Founded in 1780 and part of the LVMH group, Chaumet is the first jeweler to design Paralympic and Olympic medals.
