The Eiffel Tower became a beach volleyball court. The Champs-Élysées transformed into a cycling track. And under the glittering dome of the Grand Palais, fencers dueled like modern musketeers. For 17 magical days, Paris didn't just host the Olympics—it became one.
The 2024 Summer Games marked 100 years since Paris last held the Olympics, and the city delivered a spectacle worthy of its legacy. The opening ceremony rewrote the rulebook, with athletes floating down the Seine on barges past Notre-Dame, its restored spire glowing against the night sky. Local boulangeries stayed open late, fueling midnight celebrations with baguette-waving spectators from every corner of the globe.
