Dear Mr. Demo,
As Paris prepares to welcome athletes from all over the world to celebrate sporting excellence for the 2024 Olympics, the city is also lighting up with a rich cultural scene. From art exhibitions to musical performances and dance shows, Paris is getting alive with cultural events that will run alongside the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

A Nous Les Stades! A history of women's sport
The BnF François-Mitterrand presents the historical panorama of women's sport in an exhibition running from May 22 to October 13. For a long time a male domain, sport was a closed space for women. The relationship between sport and women is intimately linked to the status of women in society. The story of this relationship is one of broken taboos, breaking rules and norms that have gradually enabled women to enter a space that had been denied to them for so long.
BnF François-Mitterrand, Quai François Mauriac, Paris 13e, May 22 to October 13.

July 14th fireworks
The long awaited fireworks display from the Eiffel Tower returns on the evening of July 14, 2024, with a special edition for the Paris Olympics on the theme of " Liberty". This celebration is timed to coincide with the French National Holiday, marking the storming of the Bastille, and includes a military parade moved to Avenue Foch. In Paris, the fireworks display is fired from the Eiffel Tower and Trocadero gardens, providing an iconic show. All night long, firemen's balls will entertain the city. After the success of the previous edition on the theme "Carpe Diem", this year's theme, " Liberty", invites us to celebrate the national holiday as a moment of escape and unity.

Gaspare Spontini's three-act opera La Vestale, created in 1807 and absent from the Opéra national de Paris stage for over 150 years, returns in a French version directed by Lydia Steier and conducted by Bertrand de Billy. It tackles the themes of militaristic zeal and religious extremism, while symbolizing unity and peace through the vestal flame, the same flame that traditionally marks the start of the Olympic Games.
