Paris 2012 was an unsuccessful bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics to be held in Paris. The bidding race was eventually won by the London 2012 bid after a 54–50 vote of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on 6 July 2005.[1] The French capital's failure to win the 2012 games follows the attempts of the Paris 2008 and Paris 1992 bids.
