PARIS — Lena Von Schōnlaub used Eiffel Tower Stadium as a backdrop for her own personal photo shoot. Paris’ iconic Eiffel Tower hovered right behind her, overlooking the site where beach volleyball is being played at the 2024 Paris Olympics. “It’s Instagrammable.” The sand and upbeat DJ music always give beach volleyball the feel of a party. “We don’t really follow beach volleyball but we wanted to see the site with the Eiffel Tower,” said Solene Naeye, a local Parisian who came to the spot for pictures. They’ve achieved it.” TikTok said the Eiffel Tower location tag on its app had over 80,000 posts Sunday, with the beach volleyball hashtag around 88,900.
