Australian athletes, team members and journalists covering the 2024 Olympic Games have been presented with a unique offer by a Paris strip club.
An adult cabaret and restaurant venue called Secret Square is encouraging those involved with the Games to come to their venue by offering free entry.
The venue, which is located 19 kilometers from the athletes' village, is known for the art of 'French striptease' and is open until 4am.
'During their stay in Paris, athletes, their team and journalists covering the event won't have to pay the entrance fee,' a spokesperson told TMZ.
Those seeking entry can claim the special offer by showing their Olympic credentials when they arrive at the club.
During the opening ceremony for the Games, Secret Square had 25 of their best dancers celebrate with a sports-themed performance on the pole and stage.
The raunchy offer comes as Olympic fans attending live Games events in Paris have noticed that it's hard to buy a beer with alcohol in it.
In 1991 a law passed in France banned the sale of alcohol in in stadiums unless a meal is served with it - so those dining in VIP areas are the only spectators who can partake in a glass of wine, beer or something stronger.

Alcohol-free beer is available to those who are desperate, but it can be pricey at $13AUD for a 500mL drink.
Matildas fans might be looking for somewhere to celebrate after securing a stunning 6-5 victory over Zambia on Monday morning.
The Matildas' match against their African rivals saw a staggering 11 goals scored, with the World Cup semi-finalists at one stage three goals behind in what was shaping up as a shocking result that would all-but seal their early exit.
However, goals from Steph Catley and Michelle Heyman saw Tony Gustavsson's side turn things around and secure all three points, thereby keeping their Olympics dream alive.
Cleary, who is dating Manchester City star Fowler, tuned in for the big match and shared his delight in the result at full time.

Posting a picture of Fowler on his TV screen, Cleary wrote 'comeback' with a clapping emoji.
Cleary is familiar with securing dramatic comebacks on the footy field, playing a pivotal role in helping Penrith to victory in last year's grand final against Brisbane Broncos.
Gustavsson punched the air in delight but the performance was once again far from convincing.
But the only thing that mattered after their 3-0 defeat by Germany three nights earlier in Marseille, just down the road on the Cote d'Azur, was the priceless victory.
It still gives the Matildas the chance to make it through to the quarter-finals but they may still have to glean a point against the powerful USA team in their final match to ensure they squeeze into the last eight.
