Evin's Law has been in place in France for more than three decades. The law restricts the sale of alcohol to the general public inside stadiums in the country.

Organizers for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics declined to seek an exemption to the law, a Paris 2024 spokesperson told Reuters.

"Such an exemption would have required a change in the law for an event the size of the Games. The law allows an exemption from the ban on the sale of alcohol for 10 events per organiser per year per municipality," officials said in a statement.

"Paris 2024 will be organising more than 700 competition sessions over 15 days of competition."

It remains unlikely that organizers will pursue an exemption to the law in the future.

Organizers for another event, the upcoming 2023 Rugby World Cup, successfully negotiated an exception for their event, which is also being held in France.

French law does allow for a different set of rules for catered hospitality areas, which would include VIP suites. Therefore, attendees who pay the price for the VIP suites at stadiums at the 2024 Paris Olympics will have access to alcohol.

Alcoholic beverages can be advertised via billboards and certain websites, but the sale of the drinks will be limited to those who have the VIP designation.
