A hundred years ago, the organization of the Paris Olympic Games received some criticism in the press. Students thrown out of their accommodation as the Olympic Games approach, public transport prices skyrocketing, traffic drastically controlled.
The first Olympic village was made up of around sixty wooden huts, “villas”, whose lack of comfort was highlighted by the newspaper Le Siècle. The Olympic Village is insufficient to accommodate all the athletes, particularly the Americans, who prefer to stay elsewhere in the capital.
