Bonjour France from India
Visit Paris during the Olympics??! Are you CRAZY?!? (crowds, barricades, increased prices, etc). Forget it!! …..I’ll visit Paris NEXT MAY!! 🤷🏼♂️😎🥂
London 2012 they redesigned road junctions near where I was living so that they Olympic committee and officials could travel easily between game sites. The changes made the traffic flow in an illogical way. After the games the changes remained in place. Welcome to your Olympic legacy.
Politicians selling your City out to enrich themselves….
who wants to sit in that french mess?
Paris is always crowded. It is a privilege to host Olympics.
To whoever may read that comment, if you happened to have plan to come to Paris for those Olympics, please just cancel it or change your destination. France is currently ruled by an authentically totalitarian, autocratic regime. Democracy has fallen here. Individual freedoms are increasingly threatened. If you love France and want to help the French people, then just boycott the event so that it can be turned into a major failure for Macron and his minions in the face of the world. Please be also aware that the people who make up this regime are truly incompetent, with the mainstream media constantly covering up their blunders. For several years, this incompetence has been responsible for an increase in violent crime in the country. It's really worrying that these people could be entrusted with the organization of such an event.
Ofc they are; the commies got into power, what do you expect 🤡
The French government could conduct the Olympics in a new fresh creative area of France to create a innovative creation for the celebration of this important event!
Instead uses the old capital of the country ! Disturbing the resident, businesses and tourists ! This show the lack of innovation to create New infrastructure and economy of France !
China Olympics celebration
It is a bad city
So will it be crowded during the Olympics
Was there past Saturday. Paris is not pleasant at the moment. The Olympic Games make it very difficult to move around on foot, area around the seine a hermetically sealed zone. I will return after the games in september.
