This is why the Paris 2024 Olympics will be unbeatable

The Paris 2024 Olympics were different from all other sporting events I've ever been to. The games had some of the most amazing scenarios as backdrops, and there were lots of opportunities to see athletes and enjoy the Olympic atmosphere for free or spending little. I was actually in Paris to work at the Olympics (I'm a journalist), and in this video, I share how we enjoyed our spare time.

► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he's actually camera-shy. That's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

Hello everyone! It's been a long time 🙈! The last few months were very intense with the work at the Paris Olympics, that's why I couldn't keep up with the channel (if you're new here, I freelance on sporting events). In this video, you can see a little bit of what happened in Paris during my spare time. It was absolutely amazing! 🤩

Not a lot of people mentioned it but it had to be huge in Paris because this is where the Modern Olympic Games were born. Pierre de Coubertin that we have seen on an old picture at the opening ceremony is a Frenchman from Paris. He is the father of the Modern Olympic games, the founder of the International Olympic Commitee and he is the one who drew the logo of the olympic games: the 5 Olympic rings. So we owe a lot to Paris. The Olympic Games were born in Greece but they were reborn in Paris.

Parisien depuis toujours, je n'avais jamais vu autant d'amour, de joie et de bonheur de vivre que pendant ces JO.

Thank you very much for this summary of what the Olympic games were like in Paris, some of my friends also went there and unanimously they told me they had the best stay of their lives, the atmosphere in France was just incredible. i was told that the Olympic sites were absolutely fabulous and the organization was just perfect! And making these games in the middle of this fabulous city was really an absolutely brilliant idea!! I think I will regret all my life not having participated in such a great and unique event like this one ! but we don't always decide our destiny....that's how it is. Thank you again for letting us experience a few moments of these games! greetings !

I had never watched the Olympics before other than seeing glimpses of a few games on tv, but this was my first time watching and I was impressed. I didn’t have high expectations because I had never watched before, but I figured…..Paris with how extravagant it is, they would do something big and they did not disappoint. From colored smoked bombs going off at the very beginning, to the masked runner going all throughout the city showcasing Paris’s history, the opera singer singing Habanera by Carmen, the singer singing Imagine by John Lennon, the party barge clips afterwards and then the light show at the Eiffel Tower….this Olympics has made Paris way more beautiful and magical than ever and now it’s so hard to see videos of Paris without all the Olympics decor up. I of course watched for Team USA specifically for Simone, and my favorite basketball player Hailey Van Lith who was on the 3x3 team. Her team sadly got the bronze medals but….she lead her team in scoring. I will be surprised if L.A. manages to beat Paris in who can hold the best Olympics.

Hello, nice footage, those Paris olympics were huge, with really good vibes in the public, hope L.A 2028 will bring the same happiness 🤩

Information for those who do not know, concerning the part of the show in front of the Conciergerie (the "metal" part, by Gojira and Marina Viotti): the boat on which the opera singer is standing appears on the coat of arms of Paris, whose motto in Latin is "Fluctuat, nec mergitur" (Battled by the waves, but does not sink). This boat (initially a river boat) already appeared in 1210 on the seal of the powerful corporation of the Nautes (or "riverfaring merchants") which is at the origin of the Parisian municipality, directed by the "provost of merchants" until the Revolution of 1789. It was a brotherhood of merchant sailors. They managed the affairs of the Seine and developed trade between the city and the rest of the world.
Anyway, thanks for this great video.
