Waiters and waitresses ran a 2-km race through the Paris streets while balancing trays of coffee and croissants. Named Course des Cafes, the race started in 1914 and returned for the 2024 Olympics.
Participants wore the classic Parisian waiter outfit of a white top, black pants or skirt, and an apron. They had to hold a tray with a glass of water, a cup of coffee, and a croissant throughout the race without spilling anything. The winners received tickets to the Paris Olympics¡¯ opening ceremony.
