France is preparing to receive 15 million tourists and athletes. The atmosphere is not one of celebration but of reluctance due to the chaos that is approaching.
Extreme heat, possible landslides, and the ghost of war, among other controversies. Armed military patrols tour the capital and reinforce tourist sites, synagogues, and schools. The migrants were moved to the interior of France to “not be seen," according to their feelings. While the bookinists, who have been selling old books on the banks of the Seine for 400 years, won the battle and will not be forced to dismantle their bookshop. The government will issue a QR so that everyone can register and be able to move around in security zones or visit their families, friends, or restaurants in "safe" areas. This registration operation will begin on May 10 and will be in effect from one week before July 26, the day of the opening ceremony, until September 8, when the Paralympic Games end. It will be a total of 44 days. The flame was lit this Tuesday in Olympia, Greece, in a ceremony inspired by antiquity. “I will be an amazed spectator, ” said the head of state, who will be on hand for the torch relay to Paris on July 26. The torch relay will begin in Greece on Tuesday and end in the French capital on July 25 and 26, with a stop-over in London on the way to the Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Rio de Janiero, Brazil. The journey will take about three weeks. The relay is expected to end in Paris late July or early August, when the Games begin.
