The Paris bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics comes after unsuccessful attempts to be the host city for the 1992, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. 2024 would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Summer Olympics which were held in the French capital. The former French Minister of Sports, Jean-Francois Lamour, had made it clear that 2024 represents a choice objective for a Parisian bid. €35 million will be planned to build new sports venues around Paris in order to improve the quality of the future Parisian bid.[1][2][3] The city decided not to bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics on July 12, 2011, after Annecy's 2018 Winter Olympics bid was rejected, and claimed that Paris would bid for the 2024 summer edition instead.[4] Marseille will host sailing competition in the Mediterranean Sea if Paris gets games. Paris is bidding for 2024 Summer Olympics last hosted 1924 Summer Olympics will become 100th Anniversary.
