    Let's dive into some of the exciting events happening today:

    - For sports enthusiasts, the Paralympic Games Paris 2024 may have concluded, but the city is still celebrating the spirit of sport. You can visit the ‘SPOT24 – the Olympic Exhibition, sport and urban cultures’ near the Eiffel Tower, which showcases new Olympic disciplines like breaking, BMX freestyle, and skateboarding.
