Description:

It's dirty, it's crowded, there's always a strike, the waiters are rude…and it's the place to go in 2024. We bring you a special edition of The World This Week, as the French capital gets set to host the Olympics for the first time in exactly 100 years. Why is it that for better or worse, old stereotypes stick about the City of Light?

With Olympic events designed to showcase the grandeur of Paris's historical sights, we ask how the 2,000-year-old city is evolving today. Is the world’s top tourist destination thriving…or losing its soul? 

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Imen Mellaz.
