Paris 2024: Eiffel Tower countdown turns to 100 days to Olympics

The Hindu  

The Eiffel Tower’s countdown clock to the Paris 2024 Olympics turned to 100 days on Tuesday as preparations for the Games entered the final straight. Organisers will count on the flame relay across France for the mood to swing in the country as the July 26-Aug 11 Games approach. Last month, a poll showed that, in France, 57% of people felt little or no enthusiasm for the Paris Games. Paris 2024 posters were displayed in metro stations on Tuesday and some landmark monuments paid tribute to the upcoming Games, while the stairs leading up to the Sacre Coeur basilica were being painted with the Games’ colours.
