Sip a cool caipirinha cocktail in Brazil. Sample a spicy samosa in India. Boogie down with a DJ in France until the early hours. Or do all three in a day – and perhaps meet some athletes as well.

Organizers want fans who are in Paris, but don't have tickets for the Olympics, to know that they can spend their days – and perhaps boozy nights – at the Parc des Nations, or Nations Park, which is hosting 15 festive national team clubhouses in what amounts to a mini-World's Fair on the edge of Paris.

The project gives a temporary new name to the Parc de la Villette in the northeast corner of the French capital. It will open on Saturday, once Friday's ambitious Opening Ceremony on the River Seine is over, along with its enormous security demands.

Imagine one huge, multicultural fan zone. The idea is for visitors to connect with each other, with Olympic athletes and with the Games themselves, organizers said.

"The slogan of these Olympics is 'Games Wide Open,' and we wanted to bring that to life," said Amelie Guignabert of Paris 2024, the Olympic organizing committee. "We really believe in it."

All they need, she noted, will be the fans, and officials are advertising on the Paris Metro and elsewhere.

Certainly, there is room for them. The biggest house is, not surprisingly, Club France, which can accommodate 5,000 to 6,000 people inside, and 20,000 in the outside spaces, which include two huge fields.

Other team clubhouses are Casa Brazil, Canada Team House, Casa Colombia, Czech House, India House, Casa Mexico, Team NL (Netherlands) House, Mongolia House, Serbian House, Slovak House, Slovenian House, and Ekhaya South Africa.

Inside Club France is a large stage, where athletes will appear after winning medals and where nightly music events will be offered, including sets from DJs like Bob Sinclar, said Arnaud Courtier, executive director of Club France.

"We like to party," he exclaimed.

Fans can pay five euros (about $5.42) and stay as long as they like, watching Olympic competitions and athlete interviews on giant screens, cheering for medal winners and buying food and drinks. Or they can buy a package that could run up to 385 euros (about $418) for an all-night open bar and a prime spot on the stage.
