Before the start of the Olympic Games, many people feared the worst: exorbitant ticket prices, infernal traffic, crowded subways at all hours, risk of terrorist attack, influx of tourists, general pessimism about the organization of the event... In short, the whole package! As a result, some people preferred to flee the capital, imagining an apocalyptic Paris.

But the reality is quite different! Since the start of the Games, it's been a non-stop party! The opening ceremony was grandiose, the French athletes are sweeping up the medals, and the Olympic atmosphere is simply electrifying. So far, the Olympics have been a resounding success, turning skeptics into die-hard fans. Enough to silence the naysayers!

Those who took the plunge are biting their fingers off... When they see the magnificence of the Olympic venues and events on TV and social networks, not to mention the euphoria in the streets, they bitterly regret their decision. Many realize that they are missing out on a historic moment, a unique communion of popular fervor.

But don't panic! Those who missed out on the Olympics can console themselves with the Paralympic Games, which kick off in Paris on August 28. A first-of-its-kind event in Paris, the Paralympics promise to be an unforgettable sporting experience at iconic venues.
