The heritage sites of the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris will come back to life this summer. Four months before the Games, the Jacques-Anquetil velodrome, the Yves-du-Manoir stadium and other places of national sporting memory intend to carry their Olympic heritage loud and clear.
This summer, the Olympic field hockey tournament will take place in the vast venue, which has had a makeover and will become the only site to host Olympic events for the second time, 100 years apart. The Georges-Vallerey swimming pool underwent a major renovation in the mid-1980s, in homage to a French swimmer who medaled at the London Games.
