France is set to host the Winter Olympics in four years time, but it seems to be beset by problems.
The Alpine bid was ratified by the International Olympic Committee in July 2024, albeit subject to certain conditions being met.
- France awarded 2030 Winter Olympics

President Macron has said: “We will be there for these Winter Games, which are an important event not only for our two regions, but for all of France, our Alps in blue, white and red, allowing our generations to excel, to go even further and achieve an even greater success because they will be at home.”
He was speaking last week at an event at the Elysee Palace honouring 18 French medalists from the Milan-Cortina Winter Games in Italy last winter.
