I really should read questions properly, I was thinking of the Eiffel Tower on the Notre-dame question. Even though date of le Tour Eiffel wasn't there anyway. Sacre bleu!

"La tour" (tower) not "Le tour" (turn/round). As for sacrebleu, it may be nice in a musketeers movie but we don't use it for two or three centuries, unless we want to use an old word of course, but I do prefer "palsambleu" personnally ;).

The Prussians did capture Paris following the French surrender although they made no effort to occupy it.

> Thirty thousand Prussian, Bavarian and Saxon troops held a brief victory parade in Paris on March 1, 1871

Germany was founded and proclaimed (January 18, 1871) before the surrender of Paris (January 28, 1871), so 'Germany' should be the answer here

I was positive that the 2024 olympics were in Tokyo. How… did I… forget an Olympics that was just last year? 😩

That's right. The quiz got slightly modified when featured. The answer of the seventh question was previously the Porte Guillaume in Dijon, and there were not the questions about the airport and the subdivisions.

Saw the Brandenburg Gate and somehow thought it was the Arc de Triomphe... oh well.

Great quiz!
