The year 2024 puts the spotlight on the Arc de Triomphe. Its construction was decided by Napoleon I the day after the Battle of Austerlitz in order to perpetuate the memory of the victories of the French armies.

Located at the top of the Champs Elysées, it is an emblematic Parisian place.

The reverse common to the series presents a view of Paris where the Seine takes on the appearance of an athletics track. The Eiffel Tower dominates the city and lights up the competition.
