The 2024 Olympics are in Paris, France. But Paris is only so large as a city, so many events will be held outside the city itself.

To the average watcher, sports like swimming, athletics (track and field) and gymnastics are the flagship sports of the Olympics. But basketball has been catching up as well because most of the top stars in the world will participate. And while the quarterfinals and subsequent round will be played at the Accor Arena in Paris, the group stage games will be played in Lille at The Decathlon Arena, also known as Stade Pierre Mauroy.
