The gar\u00e7ons, or waiters of Paris, are back on the streets of the French capital as it prepares to host the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, the legendary contest was revived after a 13-year hiatus, with contestants running around the city with trays laden with croissants and coffees, in a bid to reclaim the powerful caf\u00e9 and bistro culture as a real meeting place for Parisians.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Paris<\/strong> revived this tradition, bringing together a cast of 200 waiters and waitresses from restaurants and caf\u00e9s in a single 2.5 km race. The rules were clear: no running, and arrive at the finish line with the trays intact with a croissant, a glass of tap water and a cup of coffee. No spilling was allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were all classically dressed in black trousers or skirt, apron and white top, maintaining the elegance and methodism that had been established since the origins of the “Course des Gar\u00e7ons de Caf\u00e9<\/strong>“, which was first launched in 1914 to highlight the caf\u00e9s and restaurants of the French capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, Pauline Van Wymeersch<\/strong> of Caf\u00e9 le Petit Pont and Samy Lamrous<\/strong> of La Contrescarpe were crowned the fastest in this updated edition, winning tickets to the opening ceremony of this summer’s Olympic Games – and, of course, the respect of Parisian society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
