OLYMPIA

In the heart of Geneva, during his daily walk in Parc La Grande on September 2, 1937, Pierre de Coubertin suddenly passed away. He now rests in the Bois-de-Vaux cemetery in Lausanne.

Although Coubertin is buried in Lausanne, his heart, according to his wishes, is preserved in a stele in Olympia, recalling the enduring link between his life, his work, and the revival of the Olympic ideal. Parc La Grange thus remains a discreet yet profoundly symbolic place of remembrance.
