France was the host nation of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. France is one of five countries to have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, alongside Australia, Great Britain, Greece, and Switzerland. There were 573 athletes that competed at this edition, becoming the nation's largest delegation since the 1900 Olympics, which were also held in Paris. They won 64 medals, including 16 gold medals. As a result, France finished fifth in the medal table, marking their first top-five finish since the 1996 Summer Olympics.
Two days before the opening ceremony, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the French Alps would host the 2030 Winter Olympics, returning the Winter Olympics to its birthplace after 38 years.[1] The opening ceremony will take place on 1 February 2030.
