Waiters in work outfits take the start of a traditionnal "Course des garcons de cafe" (the cafe waiters' race), in front of the City Hall in central Paris, on March 24, 2024. Around 200 participants gathered to compete in the 2km race around Paris' Marais district single-handedly carrying a tray bearing a coffee, a glass of water and a croissant. Founded in 1914, this is the first edition of the race after a 13-year hiatus. (Photo by Dimitar DILKOFF / AFP)
