Conceived by Stefano Rellandini, Deputy Photo Editor for France, AFP invited French athletes, most of whom are set to compete in the Paris Olympic Games, to pose at some of the capital's most renowned locations, including the Louvre Museum, the Sainte-Chapelle and the National Library of France. "The idea was to take them out of the stadium and take a tourist tour of the emblematic places of Paris," explained Joel Saget, one of the three AFP photographers who collaborated on the project with Rellandini and AFP Sports photographer, Franck Fife.
