From the proposed venue of Place de la Concorde fans will have a clear view of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe landmarks. It is also the site of the 3000 year-old Luxor Obelisk brought to Paris in the 1830s. "It seems they can stage all those sports there, that's what we were told (by Estanguet)," the president of the Seine-Saint-Denis department Stephane Troussel told AFP. The Olympic stadium and Olympic village will both be in Seine-Saint-Denis. The surfing events meanwhile have offers from Tahiti, Brittany and the south-western Atlantic coast.
