Host Penny Thomas speaks with The West’s travel editor Stephen Scourfield and fashion writer Megan French about the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, and whether you should visit the host city when the world’s greatest athletes gather there to compete.

During the show they unpack how local Parisians feel about hosting the upcoming event, the rising cost of accommodation and public transport fares, plus how travellers can benefit from visiting the popular tourist destination outside the Olympic and Paralympic period.
