The Paris 2024 Olympic Games deliver a positive legacy for future generations

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which took place from July 26 to August 11, were heralded as a memorable event, bringing together more than 10,000 athletes from 206 nations.

The Olympic flame departed from Olympia, Greece, aboard the three-masted sailing ship "Belem," before crossing France from Marseille, symbolizing unity and hope.

The competitions took place in iconic locations, including the Seine River and the Eiffel Tower, incorporating sustainable and inclusive initiatives. A particular emphasis was placed on inclusivity, with the participation of Paralympic athletes and cultural events throughout the Games. At the end of the 17 days, the Closing Ceremony celebrated both sporting achievements and cultural connections. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games demonstrated the city's commitment to an environmentally friendly and festive experience. This event left a positive legacy for future generations.

Unique philatelic covers, sent from Olympia (Greece) to Paris (France), were produced in very small print runs by Historiaphil© (European Parliament Philatelic Kiosk, Strasbourg) to celebrate this historic event.
