A HANDFUL of Olympic hopefuls will be staying in the first-ever “FLOATING” village ahead of the Games.
The regular Olympic village in the French capital has come under-fire for the “anti-sex” cardboard beds.

But a fortunate set of surfers will be staying over 10,000 MILES away on the southwestern coast of the French Polynesian island of Tahiti.
It broke the Olympic record for most distance between a medal competition and the host city – taking at least 21 hours to fly to.
They will be stationed at a village in Teahupo’o and staying on the luxury the Aranui 5 ship dubbed the “first-ever floating Olympic village.”
It features a Sky bar, dancing room, library, fitness room and spa.
Regular Olympians will be sleeping in a dorm-room-style hub but the 48 Olympic surfers will have their own rooms on the ship.
Much has been made of the recyclable cardboard beds – which were first introduced for the delayed Tokyo Games in 2021.
But surfers on the ship will get a good night’s rest in proper beds.
The Paris Olympic Village on the ground spans parts of three cities: Saint-Denis, Saint Ouen and L’Ile-Saint-Denis.

It will host 15,000 people, including 10,500 athletes, and equates to the size of 70 football pitches.
This year’s Olympic Village is the single most expensive project in Paris with £1.7billion being spent, including nearly £550million of public funds.
