International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach was welcomed to the headquarters of the Paris 2024 Organising Committee by its President, Tony Estanguet, on Monday. He attended the final meeting of the Paris 2024 Board of Directors before the Olympic Games.

After a day's rest, the Olympic Torch stopped off in the Indre département on Monday. With its picturesque villages, castles and mansions, fields of grain and many hiking trails, it is also a land of sport and the perfect place to get away from it all.

Tony Estanguet took on the role as president of Paris Olympics Organising Committee two years after leading the city's bid for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In an interview with Hindustan Times’ Faizal Khan while attending the Cannes Film Festival, the three-time gold medallist spoke of the city’s journey to host the upcoming Olympic Games. 

On Saturday, a constellation of medieval mysteries awaited the Olympic Torch Relay on the ancient streets of the Vienne département: it set off from the 11th century Tour Carrée in Loudun and finished in front of the Futuroscope Arena on its long and intense way to Paris.

Paris 2024 and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), in collaboration with France Televisions, have selected Jules and Gedeon Naudet to direct the official film and documentary series for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The fourth leg of the Olympic Torch Relay has made another stop in the Bouches-du-Rhône. After the arrival of the Olympic Torch and the first stage in Marseille, other key sites in the region were highlighted on the way to Arles, the host city of the stage.

On Europe Day, and the second on French soil for the Paris 2024 flame after a 12-day-long boat journey from Greece, Mariia Vysochanska participated in the relay through the coastal city’s streets to begin an 11-week parade across France before lighting the Olympic cauldron on 26 July.

The Organising Committee of the next Olympic Games has chosen Victor le Masne to be the musical director of the four ceremonies and composer of the official musical theme of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Olympic flame set sail from the Greek port of Piraeus today to France where the Olympic Torch Relay will continue its epic journey. Crossing the Mediterranean on board the Belem, the flame is scheduled to reach Marseille on 8 May. 

The Paris metro, long the envy of other cities, has undergone a change of perception as it grapples with ageing infrastructure just three and a half months before the Olympics.

The organisers of the Paris Olympics have promised a "great national party", but with just 100 days to go, France's divisive politics and gloomy mood are casting a shadow over the anticipation.

Holding the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on the Seine is the "main plan" and "very likely", said Tony Estanguet, president of the organising committee, on Tuesday, the day after Emmanuel Macron's comments suggesting alternative venues at the Trocadéro and the Stade de France.

World Athletics has announced that it will make history by becoming the first International Federation to distribute prize money at the Olympic Games, starting with Paris 2024 in August.

In line with its vision of "Games Wide Open," Paris 2024 was delighted to work with the Torch Relay's Presenting Partners, Coca-Cola and Banque Populaire & Caisse d'Epargne, to involve as many French people as possible in the Torch Relay. By taking the flame to six overseas territories, the Relay across the Oceans will also prepare French people from all over the world to celebrate the Games. 

More than 4,000 children gather at the Porte de La Chapelle arena for the launch of Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Week, with educational activities for more than 2 million young people across France.
