We've talked about Paris as the host of the 2024 Summer Olympics. But now, it's time to talk about Paris as a place where many, many people live with a culture all its own.
What's left to be said about the city of lights? It's the setting of great works of fiction, both on screen and on the page. It's played a pivotal role throughout Western history, serving as a hub for learning, commerce, diplomacy, and more. It's the ideal vacation destination for millions upon millions of people every year.
It's also a place where some 2 million (11 million counting the greater metro area) people live, go to school, eat, play sports, and talk.
We discuss the impact of the Olympics on Paris and share your memories of the city.
