The Olympic Games are coming to the French capital and homes have been found for all 32 sporting disciplines.
Breaking, the newest Olympic sport, will take place at La Concorde and will share the area with 3x3 basketball, skateboarding and freestyle BMX.
It will become the Olympic Stadium for the duration of the Games, welcoming track and field (athletics) and rugby sevens.
Olympic tennis will naturally take place here, but its centerpiece – Court Philippe Chatrier – will also play host to boxing bouts.
