Six months before the opening ceremony, the Paris Olympic Games are inspiring French cinema. “I did not expect that the world of culture, whether cinema or others, would take over the event to this extent,” underlines Dominique Hervieu, in charge of the Cultural Olympiad, artistic variation of the 2024 Olympics.

In Lyon, the eleventh edition of the Sport, literature and cinema festival is dedicated this year to the centenary of the Winter Olympics in Chamonix.
