Ysaora and Race, two Olympic fencers who fell in love while competing in the sport, went to Paris for their own unique version of a romantic getaway. Host Anne’s loft in the 14th arrondissement put them right in the middle of the city, where they could see the sights, and spar at them, too. Every day, romantic getaways of all kinds happen at places found on Airbnb, made possible by Hosts.

ABOUT AIRBNB
Airbnb was born in 2008 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed over 800 million guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, our Hosts offer one-of-a-kind stays and unique Experiences that make it possible for guests to experience the world in a more unique, authentic, connected way.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
During the run-up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games, we invited athletes to take trips on Airbnb with their friends, family, teammates and coaches -- and sent along a photographer to document the trip. We then edited the photos together with familiar songs and sound clips to capture the unique experience of traveling on Airbnb, which our Hosts enable. These commercials are part of an ongoing series called Made Possible by Hosts. Watch the playlist here:   • Made possible by Hosts  

ABOUT OUR OLYMPIC & PARALYMPIC PARTNERSHIP
In 2019, Airbnb entered into a nine-year partnership with the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee built around the common goal of supporting athletes with opportunities for economic empowerment and enabling the benefits of hosted travel.
