100 years ago, in 1924, Paris experienced its last Olympic Games, right here, where the idea of holding a sporting event like in ancient Greece was born and thanks to Baron Pierre de Coubertin, today it is possible. 

A century has passed since the last time Paris saw how those humans touched the sky with their hands and in them, kept as what they are, the most precious treasure to which an athlete can aspire, the Olympic medals.  

This time, unlike a century ago, gender equity prevailed and half of the athletes competing will be women.

It is Olympic week, in every corner of Paris you can feel the atmosphere of the Games, although not all Parisians are happy due to the increase in prices, especially in transportation, despite this and despite being one of the most visited cities in the world and to be accustomed to the movement that tourism generates, in every corner of Paris, the Olympic Games are lived. 

Women at the forefront of the debate, leading the way to a more inclusive and equitable dialogue. Here, diversity of thought and equitable representation across sectors are not mere ideals; they are the heart of our community.
