2024 Olympic Photo Gallery: Photographer and ‘man-about-town’ John Thomson was very busy in Paris during the Olympic Games, and so after his very popular ‘Montmartre Olympic Road Race Photo Gallery’, he has put together a part 2 – More great memories from Paris.
*** You can see more of John Thomson’s photo galleries HERE. ***
John Thomson: “This is part two of my ‘Montmartre Olympic Road Race’ photo gallery. It includes shots of the men and women on the Côte de la Butte Montmartre at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Mathieu, Wout, more Remco, Eddy at the Giro and women cross riders who rocked at the Tour de France Femmes avec Swift. Plus other miscellaneous goodies and of course van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec.”
