Today Elizabeth visits the other Olympic village. Just like its counterpart, the athlete lodging in Versailles features the best food, hair grooming and souvenirs from home, but this Village has air conditioning…oh and it’s for horses, not humans.

Caracole de La Roque is one of the world’s finest jumping horses and we visit her stall to discover the realities of competing at the Paris Games through her groom Tessa Falanga.

Listen to In the Village daily from the ground in Paris as host Elizabeth Beisel takes you into the most exclusive areas of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games to explore the daily life of athletes, complete with all the funny, mundane and unexpected things you learn off the field of play.
