Under an imminent evacuation notice, the 450 migrants occupying an abandoned office building south of Paris believe that preparations for the Olympic Games in July and August 2024 have worsened conditions for accessing housing. On behalf of the French state, staff from the organization 'France Terre d'Asile' interviewed 300 of the 400 occupants to find out the situation of each one and to analyze whether the public authorities can rehouse them.
