As Brisbane squabbles over where and how to host the Olympic Games in 2032, Paris seems like it will be a difficult act to follow. The stadium is already built. It was completed in time for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Stade de France hosted last year’s Rugby World Cup final, too. And it’s not just about the footy. Within 10 minutes of the stadium, there are at least seven athletics tracks already in use. This city knows track and field.
They’ll have a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower from the temporary stand built on Pont Alexandre III straddling the River Seine. If you’ve got a ticket for the archery, you’ll be heading for the gardens surrounding Hotel des Invalides, the military museum complex containing Napoleon’s tomb. Want to catch some skateboarding? That’ll be at Place de la Concorde at the foot of the Champs-Elysees. Where urban culture will sidle up alongside the famous Luxor Obelisk.
