There’s a lot happening in Paris this summer.
The Olympic Games are coming to the French capital and homes have been found for all 32 sporting disciplines. Many of the venues existed before the Games – the only permanent sports facility built for the Olympics is the Aquatics Center, which will welcome the artistic swimming, water polo and diving events. There will also be various temporary arenas and stands, with several being built around famous landmarks.
Olympic tennis will naturally take place here, but its centerpiece – Court Philippe Chatrier – will also play host to boxing bouts. Soccer will cover the most ground of any sport at the Games, with matches being held in seven different stadiums across the country. Located in the heart of Paris, though, is the famed Parc des Princes, one of the host venues for the ‘Beautiful Game.
