Abstract
- The Paris Olympics have come to a close with a joyous closing ceremony, marking the end of a two-week period that boosted spirits in the French capital. However, as the games end, France will return to political chaos, with President Emmanuel Macron facing pressure to name a prime minister who can survive a no-confidence vote. Despite initial challenges, the city successfully hosted the Olympics, with no major issues and mostly cooperative weather. The French medal haul of 64 medals, the most since 1900, contributed to the positive atmosphere. Macron plans to continue the celebration with a ceremony to thank workers and a parade for French Olympians. [Extracted from the article]
