Paris Olympics

France's summer competition

The Paris Olympics refers to the Olympic Games held in Paris, France—the city has hosted three times: 1900, 1924, and 2024.

The 2024 Summer Olympics featured distinctive venues including events at the Eiffel Tower and along the Seine, with the opening ceremony held on the river rather than in a stadium.

We watched the Paris Olympics opening ceremony from a café.
