In photos: What remains of the Paris Olympic sites?
From July 26 to August 11, 2024, Paris welcomed hundreds of thousands of French and international visitors, while promising a more modest, more sustainable Olympic model. Several of the capital's iconic sites, such as Place de la Concorde and the Grand Palais, were repurposed for the occasion, before returning to their original use once the competitions ended. One year after the opening ceremony, residents have gradually reclaimed the new amenities and adaptations left behind as a legacy.

Virgil Abloh Archive and Nike to launch Paris exhibition
The Virgil Abloh Archive, in collaboration with Nike, announced on Thursday the launch of its first major European exhibition dedicated to the work of the late Virgil Abloh. Dubbed 'Virgil Abloh: The Codes', the exhibit opens on what would have been Abloh's 45th birthday, on September 30, and runs through October 10 at the Grand Palais in Paris. Drawing from the designer's vast 20,000-object archive, The Codes will present hundreds of pieces, including prototypes, garments, footwear, sketches, photographs, and personal items. Curated by Chloe Sultan and Mahfuz Sultan, the show builds on the 2022 Virgil Abloh: The Codes exhibition and expands it through his work in apparel, footwear, architecture, music, advertising, and more. The exhibition also explores Abloh's collaborations with several artists, designers, and athletes. 'This exhibit is just the beginning of our work to share Virgil's legacy and principles with the creative community and the broader world,' said Shannon Abloh, chief executive officer and managing director of Virgil Abloh Securities, founder and board president of the Virgil Abloh Foundation, president and chair of Virgil Abloh Archive. 'Sharing his personal collection, unfinished projects, and magnum opuses with the public is how we celebrate Virgil's legacy and his commitment to making information accessible and collaborative. Through the Archive, Virgil will live on as a source of inspiration and beacon of creative knowledge.' In addition to the exhibition, a series of publications and public programs will be held throughout the run, including workshops, performances, screenings, and live dialogues with voices from Abloh's global creative community. 'It's an honor to stage two decades of Virgil's work in Paris. This exhibition at Grand Palais is a homecoming of sorts, a love letter to the city that inspired him most and shaped so much of his practice. Virgil Abloh Archive carries forward V's spirit of generosity by sharing his work, his methods, his 'codes' with anyone who wants to learn from and build on his ideas. This exhibition represents the first chapter,' added Mahfuz Sultan, director of Virgil Abloh Archive.
