Clichy Prepares for Team GB Arrival Ahead of Paris 2024 Olympics
The town of Clichy is abuzz with activity as it prepares to welcome Team GB, which has chosen the town as its base for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games. The elected representatives of Clichy have been distributing a bilingual tourist guide in French and English at the central market. This guide, created by students from Auffray high school, provides practical information and themed walking routes, including architecture, sport, and street art.
Sylvain Dedieu, the principal of Auffray high school, emphasized the educational value of this project, stating that it allowed students to apply their skills in a real-world context. Catherine Francillette, a professor of marketing and tourism techniques, also highlighted the students' involvement in creating a tourist tool that promotes the local territory. The guide, which includes QR codes for 200 useful addresses such as restaurants, bakeries, and pharmacies, is a collaborative effort between the city services and the Clichy Mouv' merchants' association.
Paris Gears Up for the 2024 Summer Olympics
As Paris prepares for the 2024 Summer Olympics, the city is striving to offer a unique experience for both residents and visitors. The games, scheduled to start on July 26, will see 10,500 athletes from 206 countries competing in 32 sports. Spectacular venues such as the Eiffel Tower for beach volleyball and the Grand Palais for fencing and taekwondo will host various events.
In addition to the preparations in Clichy, book enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the Olympic spirit with several book recommendations. Stefan Ulrich's 'Favorite Places: Paris Travel Guide' offers insider tips for exploring the city, while Ulrich Kühne-Hellmessen and Detlef Vetten's 'Olympics 2024' provides a daily summary of the games' most important events. Siegmund Dunker and Harald Landwehr's 'Summer Olympics Paris 2024' highlights the venues and unforgettable moments of the games.
Furthermore, the traditional July 14 parade in Paris will see significant changes this year. For the first time since 1979, the ceremony will not take place on the Champs-Élysées but between Place Charles-de-Gaulle and Avenue Foch. The event will feature helicopters, Companions of the Liberation units, and the Patrouille de France, marking the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of France and celebrating the link between the military and Olympism.
