Paris' iconic Arc De Triomphe was lit up with the city's 2024 Olympic Games bid logo at precisely 20:24 local time today. A multi-coloured image of the Eiffel Tower with the words 'Paris, Candidate city, Olympic Games 2024' was screened onto the Arc at the top of the Champs-Elysees, and simultaneously on the town hall in Marseille.
Next week Paris 2024 will unveil details of Olympic sites as well as elaborating on their vision for the event and launch the bid's official website.
