Children passionate about the Games

Among the excited supporters, children sometimes go unnoticed in the crowd. Yet they are the first to get excited about these games. Garance and Cécile also set the Grand Palais, in the heart of Paris, on fire. A team semi-final in fencing, experienced just as intensely by George, an excited little boy aged 7. Adrenaline rushes run through him with each touch won: “There is a crazy atmosphere every time France scores,” he points out.

An overflow of emotions and the fear of losing, to the point of biting her nails, says Savannah, 11, who exults when France wins. Fans of the Blues in short pants can also be found in the fan zones. In Créteil (Val-de-Marne), children are learning handball, while closely following the successes of the French. Athletes who even inspire vocations among the youngest.
