A look at a Parisian street map in the 1920s
Spectators traveling to Paris for the 1924 Olympics likely depended on roadside maps, like the one pictured here, to help guide them to the Stade du Matin for football, rugby, and track and field competitions or to the Piscine des Tourelles for swimming events. A century later, technology makes navigating the most highly populated city in France much easier, as cellphones provide on-demand directions via GPS, and public transportation information is posted on the Olympics website.
