The medals of the next Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 have been unveiled!
Whether they are gold, silver or bronze, they will all contain a very special piece of metal that was once part of the Eiffel Tower.
Cut into a hexagon, the geometric shape evokes France to the point of becoming its nickname. Also on the same side, thin lines are projected at irregular intervals all around the iron hexagon. Struck rather than engraved, these rays bring relief and shine to a medal that is far from smooth.
