It’s day four of the Olympic Games and day one of our weekday residency at Maison Allianz. Allianz is a Worldwide Insurance Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Journalist and author Simon Kuper tells us how the event has transformed the city and we meet American artist Alison Saar, who created this year’s Olympic sculpture. Plus: Parisian hospitality in focus with Louis Solanet, director of Orso hotels; Bertrand Chauveau and Paul Henri, founders of Le Cornichon restaurant; and meet our hosts as our editorial director Tyler Brûlé sits down with Allianz’s CEO, Oliver Bäte.
