In this Olympic year, we present a sports exhibition entitled Flying Finns.
In 1924, Paavo Nurmi, Ville Ritola and other Finnish athletes achieved the greatest Olympic success of all time in Paris. One hundred years later, the Olympic Games return to France. Today, Finland is a modern welfare state in which sport and physical exercise play a key role.
The TAHTO sports culture center and the embassy have put together an exhibition on Finland through the eyes of sports culture, not forgetting athletic history. One of the highlights of the exhibition is the replica of the torch from the Helsinki 1952 Olympic Games. The exhibition also illustrates the evolution of running shoes up to the present day.
Come and discover the premises of theEmbassy of Finland, with its interior architecture and design that perfectly reflect Finnish culture, uncluttered and close to nature. Learn about Finnish happiness and lifestyle with the Permanent Delegation of Finland to the OECD, Institut Finlandais, Business Finland, Visit Finland and Maison Louis Carré with Les Amis de la Maison Carré.
We also present a sports exhibition Flying Finns - the flying Finns to celebrate the Olympic year.
