Highlights: Olympic village in Saint-Ouen, France, will be completed in 2024. The project began at the end of 2019 and has gone through many torments in less than five years. No one imagined then that a pandemic would bring the planet to a virtual standstill. Or that Russia would invade Ukraine, creating a global energy crisis. “The best way not to be late in 2024 is to leave on time today,” said the head of government, Édouard Philippe.

The project, which began at the end of 2019, has gone through many torments in less than five years. It will finally be delivered this Thursday, February 29
