In May and June, filmmakers Jules and Gédéon Naudet followed a team of sample-takers from the city’s public water service Eau de Paris laboratory on their nightly rounds. These never-before-seen images will be featured in the documentary series and then in the official film of the Paris 2024 Games, which will be broadcast on France Télévisions from 22 July and early next year.
The images filmed at Eau de Paris are part of a major documentary project on the behind-the-scenes organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. A first in this field. The series will consist of 5 episodes, including episodes 2 and 3, which will focus on the swimmability of the Seine and the monitoring of water quality. The public will be able to watch the first two episodes (Le pari des Jeux and La dernière ligne droite) on France Télévisions from 22 July.
