For the Olympic and Paralympic Games, up to 20,000 soldiers are mobilized. These soldiers in fatigues from the Sentinelle force patrol throughout Paris, to support the police, and to avoid any risk of attack, especially since France is at the highest level of attack vigilance. A gigantic temporary military camp has therefore been set up in the east of Paris to house them. A temporary camp, set up in just over two months, can accommodate 4,500 soldiers. 30,000 square meters that will be dismantled after the Paralympic Games.
