They are outnumbered by athletes but are just as crucial for the smooth running of the Paris Olympics. More than 45,000 volunteers coming from 155 countries have been working round the clock to ensure the best experience for visitors since the start of the games.

"Paris has become a very festive city, which I didn't exper...
