Depuis 10 ans, Paris se prépare à accueillir ces vingt-troisièmes Olympiades. De grands chantiers ont été lancés, de nouvelles lignes de métro ont été ouvertes et la Seine sera transformée en une gigantesque piscine !
Mais s’il n’y avait pas déjà des critiques, nous ne serions pas en France… Paris va-t-elle se transformer en un énorme Air B & B ? Les bouquinistes, chassés durant les jeux, reviendront-ils et Paris conservera-t-elle le caractère que nous lui connaissons ?
Les Jeux Olympiques de 1900 avaient profondément changé la capitale. Certains disent que Paris 2024 sera l’équivalent d’un nouveau baron Haussmann. Nous verrons tout cela ensemble.
