Born in Paris in 1863, Coubertin dedicated his life to rejuvenating the ancient Greek tradition. He envisioned the Olympics as a pacifist exercise fostering international cooperation, making French the sole language initially.
English was added later, but French remains integral, keeping the legacy of the founding French nobleman. French influence retains in the arts connection, following Coubertin's belief in combining physical and artistic excellence.
