But if you walk a short distance away from the sparkling Stade de France, which is about six miles from downtown Paris, you’ll find a very different world. The Stade de France will host track and field events and Rugby sevens game during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Geoffroy Van Der Hasselt/AFP/Getty ImagesWorkers prepare an information board outside Stade de France in Saint Denis on July 3. Investment fueled by the Olympics has poured into Seine-Saint-Denis to fund improved public transit, more green spaces and better-quality housing, Troussel said. Funding for track and field facilities is entirely dependent on local governments.

Paris CNN —When Paris last hosted the Summer Olympics 100 years ago, organizers were so keen to bring athletes under the same roof that they built the first-ever Olympic Village.

☆ Fact Check-Night video of Zebra and Lions on streets predates 2023 France riots

A video compilation claiming to show zoo animals roaming Paris streets is made up of clips that are not recent and is unrelated to the ongoing riots in France in June and July 2023. Social media users shared a compiled video of unrelated footage showing animals roaming city streets at night, with the caption: “It is being reported that in the French riots, numerous zoo animals have been released in France” on Facebook (here) and Twitter (here). However, the videos predate riots in France over the police shooting of a teenager of Algerian and Moroccan descent on June 27 (here). The clip of a sprinting zebra shot from the dashcam of a vehicle could be traced to a tweet published on April 11, 2020 (here). There is no evidence that animals have been released from Paris zoos amid riots in the city in 2023.

[1/5] The logo of the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics Games is seen on the Pulse building, the headquarters of the Paris 2024 Olympics organizing committee, as a police search is currently underway, in Saint-Denis near Paris, France, June 20, 2023. The national financial prosecutor's office (PNF) said the Paris 2024 headquarters were raided amid a preliminary investigation launched in 2017 into contracts made by the Summer Games' organising committee. "A search is currently under way at the headquarters of the Organising Committee," Paris 2024 said in a statement. "We are aware that there has been a search by police of the Paris 2024 headquarters today," an IOC spokesperson said. "We have been informed by Paris 2024 that they are cooperating fully with the authorities in this matter."

Damien Tarel a mai spus că, cu câteva zile înainte de vizita lui Macron în Drome, se gândise să-i arunce preşedintelui un ou sau o tartă cu cremă. „Cred că Macron reprezintă decăderea ţării noastre”, a mai spus Tarel la tribunal, potrivit BFM TV. „Dacă l-aş fi provocat pe Macron la duel la răsăritul soarelui, mă îndoiesc că ar fi acceptat”, a mai declarat el. Procurorul a precizat că Tarel nu este membru al vreunui grup politic sau militant. Damien Tarel a fost arestat împreună cu un al doilea bărbat din oraşul său Saint-Vallier.
