This photograph taken on December 8, 2023, shows an individual kite-surfing along the beachfront of La Torche, in Plomeur, western France. La Torche is candidate to host the Paris 2024 Olympic Games surf events if the Teahupo'o beach in Tahiti declines to host the event. The International Surf Association (ISA) said on December 6, 2023, it welcomed the decision by authorities to suspend work on the venue in Tahiti for the Paris Olympics events. Work has been put on hold after damage was done to coral during tests, raising the prospect of the Pacific island being stripped of its hosting rights. (Photo by LOIC VENANCE / AFP)
