Paris, France

The French city of Paris is hosting the 2024 Olympic Games, which started on July 26th and will last until August 11th. In fact, Paris hosted the Olympic Games back in 1924, exactly 100 years ago, and also at the start of the 20th century in 1900. Paris will now join London as the only cities in the world to host the Olympics three times!

Also for the first time ever in the history of the Olympics, the Opening Ceremony was not held on a stadium, but on a river, the Seine, which crosses the center of Paris and runs through the most populated regions of France.

This beautiful sunset depicted in the picture was taken from the Eiffel Tower and is a testament to the beauty of the city.
