It is also a dream, a dream shared by everyone who is building these Games. A Games, to reinforce the place of sport in our lives; to support the transformation of the territories, particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis. Ground-breaking Games, which imagine the world of tomorrow, testing, creating, and shaping solutions that will serve society. And which place youth at the heart of their actions. LET’S OPEN OUR EYES TO THE CURRENT CHALLENGES. It is a collective ambition, to open the Games, to showcase to the world the best of France especially its boldness, its creativity and innovative spirit that makes up our country’s identity.To deliver inspiring Games that will help take the Olympic and Paralympic Movements into a new era.Bold and creative Games that dare to take a step outside the box, to challenge the current models, our ways of seeing things, our paradigms; to give us the opportunity to come together, to be proud together, to experience together.QUITE SIMPLY A GAMES WIDE OPEN.Tony Estanguet
