Come to the scene of the Paris Olympics,
I have to admire the brains of the France!
As the host,
The article on the deep integration of sports, culture, tourism and business of the Olympic Games has been done to the extreme.
The "three in" sports events (into scenic spots, neighborhoods, and business districts) have only recently begun to be advocated and promoted in China. When France bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games seven years ago, it realized that "sports + culture + tourism + economy" complemented each other, and already had a set of plans, and in the process of preparation, these beautiful ideas have become a reality.
The opening ceremony completely turned tradition on its head and created a whole new paradigm. With a history of more than 100 years, the opening ceremony of the modern Olympic Games went out of the stadium for the first time, and it was also the first time that the ceremonial performance was integrated.
The Seine became the stage for the opening ceremony, and the six kilometers along the banks were open auditoriums, which were watched by at least 300,000 citizens. Through the televised broadcast, the Seine River and the famous attractions on both sides, including the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Palais, the Invalides, the Place de la Concorde, Notre Dame Cathedral, etc., followed the camera to hold a grand "Paris Tourism Global Promotion Conference".

This wave of operations in Paris, which is both fashionable and romantic, naturally attracts countless fans. The self-media blogger "Du Dark" from Beijing transferred to France after watching the European Cup, and watched the game while traveling. For the first time, the Paris Olympics made the fusion between the two feel untouchable, even so intimate and comfortable.
The Seine, which has just become the main venue of the opening ceremony, does not stop during the race, and marathon swimming, triathlon, and road cycling will gradually compete here, some swimming in the water, and some riding and running on the shore. Not only can the spectators watch the games for free, but the athletes can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the two sides of the strait and the city while competing.

The Place de la Concorde, the largest in Paris, is similar to Beijing's Tiananmen Square Square and is now home to a massive Olympic complex, where skateboarding, BMX freestyle, 3x3 basketball, and break dancing are all held in fashionable and emerging sports.

On the square of Les Invalides, an archery competition is taking place, and from the auditorium, you can see the majestic domed cathedral and the majestic military museum.
The Grand Palais, built in 1900 and famous for its sky-high dome, has also been transformed into a fencing arena that usually costs 10 euros to visit, and a ticket to the Olympics is a great way to see and visit.
The Grand Palace
Located twenty kilometers southwest of Paris, Versailles is home to the Palace of Versailles, the most famous and magnificent palace in France. Covering an area of more than 900 hectares, the estate echoes the ancient history, the splendid culture, and the graceful Olympic equestrian competitions are held here, and the "temperament" of the two is highly similar.
Perhaps the most anticipated Olympic competition is beach volleyball. This temporary Olympic venue is built in front of the Eiffel Tower, and as soon as you look up, you can see the towering spire, so you can play and watch the ball as well as sightseeing.

Some netizens ridiculed that if the Olympics set up a skydiving event, the France would put the stadium directly at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
The Champ de Mars, five or six hundred meters away from the Eiffel Tower, used to be a place for citizens to camp and relax, and now a temporary Olympic venue has been erected, which will host wrestling and judo competitions.
Host an Olympics and promote a city. With bold ideas, rich imagination, sports stage, cultural empowerment, tourism and singing, the Olympic Games are becoming more open and fashionable.
The year 2024 may be a milestone for the inheritance and promotion of the modern Olympic Games. This kind of transmutation has the same direction and a high degree of consistency with the trend of the world, the aspirations of young people, and the development of the Olympic Games.
