After more than fifteen days of Olympic festivity in Paris,

some hope the heritage of festivities,

like the heightened sensed of security and good mood,

will remain in the French capital.

 

Most French and foreign press celebrated the sucess of the Paris Olympics.

"A newfound fervour", "French dazzles the world" ,

or simply "Thank you" are the main titles on the front pages of French newspapers,

reffering to the sporting event.

 

 

Youssef, the kiosk owner, told Euronews that his biggest sale in the morning was 

the sports daily newspaper l'Equipe,

which featured Frences's fourtimes Olympic swimming champion Leon Marchand on its front page.

 

Although Yousself explained his summer wasn't as lucrative as he had hoped,

he enjoyed the fun atmosphere in Paris during the games.

 

"I dream that Paris could stay this way forever.

Paris has never been this safe and clean since the start of the Olympics.

Everyone   is a good mood and much more polite than usual", he said.

 

A post-Olympic hangover?

 

Another cafe owner described Paris "as slowly waking up in a Olympic hangover"

having to return to reality, including facing the complicated political situation in Frence.

 

French President Emmanuel Mcron will still havr to face  the reality of deadlocked govenment created

after callinh for snap legislative election back in June.

 

The former govenment under PM Gabriel Attal has carried on in a caretaker role througout the games,

but the nation still does not have a new prime minister.
