Since Paris launched its bid for the 2024 Olympics and secured it in 2017, the project has undergone numerous changes by its organisers and public administrations. From ticket prices to environmental concerns, saying is one thing, doing is quite another.

To celebrate Olympic Day on 23rd June 2024 and the centenary of the first Winter Olympics, the Torch Relay lit up Haute-Savoie. The first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in 1924, so it was a fitting tribute to return 100 years later with the Torch.
