The Paris 2024 Olympics have concluded, leaving a mixed legacy of economic success and challenges.

While the games were a spectacular showcase of athletic prowess, they also served as a significant business opportunity.

The Paris metro system, for instance, exceeded expectations by efficiently handling the influx of visitors, thanks to years of meticulous planning and infrastructure improvements.

EDF, although unable to brand the Olympic flame, gained visibility through its innovative electric torch.

However, the long-term economic impact remains uncertain, with estimates ranging from 6.7 to 11.1 billion euros.

Despite these uncertainties, the games were a triumph for France, achieving a historic medal haul and boosting national pride.

Yet, the event also faced criticism for its environmental impact and the displacement of vulnerable communities, highlighting the complex legacy of hosting such a global event.
