March 12th - Paris prepares for the world's visit during this summer's Olympics

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

I travelled to Paris to talk to the people who are handling tourism this summer. The 33rd modern Olympiad opens in the French capital on 26 July 2024, closing on 11 August. While accommodation rates have surged ahead of the Games, in this exclusive interview, tourism boss Corinne Menegaux said: “We expect an occupation rate between 60 and 70 per cent.” So you can expect some bargains if you wait patiently.This podcast is free, as is my weekly newsletter.
