The AFP photo exhibition "En route pour Paris 2024" opened on Friday July 5 at the Alliance Française in Thailand.

It brings together 24 emotionally charged photos taken by the agency's photojournalists during previous Olympics and preparatory events for the Paris Games. The evening event in Bangkok attracted some 200 members of the media, AFP officials, partners and clients.

With the Olympics in France, "we're playing a bit of a home game," said Stéphane Delfour, Director for South-East Asia, adding that "AFP will deploy 200 journalists, including 70 photographers, and provide 400 text stories, 1,500 photos and 40 videos every day during the competition".
