The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are about to begin, with top-tier athletes from 206 territories arriving in the city of lights ahead of the opening ceremony on July 26.

Along with wanting to know about the athletes' training regimens and lives outside of sport, people are eager to catch a glimpse of the Olympic Village where our Aussie team will reside. Thanks to the era of TikTok athletes, we know exactly what it's like for Aussies in the Olympic Village this year and, spoiler alert, they're not loving it.

However, there are a handful of lucky athletes who will be living it up in a luxury French Château and an even luckier few who will be cruising around sunny Tahiti. Let's get into it.

Listen to The Quicky's episode on the sports of Olympics past here. Post continues below.

The first 'floating Olympic Village' in Tahiti.

Paris may be hosting the 2024 Olympic Games, but the Seine isn't exactly equipped to host a surfing competition. Instead, Surfers will compete in the village of Teahupo'o, on the southwestern coast of the French Polynesian island of Tahiti.

The athletes and their teams will live together on-board the Aranui 5 cruise ship for the event, which boasts a sky bar, dancing room, a library, fitness room and spa.

Unlike their Olympic counterparts in Paris, who are sleeping in shared rooms, the 48 surfers will each have their own rooms on the ship. With comfortable beds to boot.

While everyone else sleeps on cardboard "anti-sex" beds in the Paris Olympic Village, the canoeing, rowing and kayaking teams are living like royalty.

Because their events are being held at the Vaires-sur-Marine Nautical Stadium on the city's western outskirts, almost 40km away from the village, these teams are being housed at the Château de Guermantes.

Aussie favourite Jess Fox shared a glimpse of the luxury accommodation on her Instagram as she checked in.

"We're not in the village this time, but rowing and canoeing are based out here and the set-up is absolutely incredible," she said in the Instagram video. "We walked into our rooms to see the Paris doona and all our Australian Olympic goodies... this is incredible."

According to the Château's website, the charming 17th century building is made up of 112 bedrooms and features a great hall inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles.

The rest of Team Australia are living in the Paris Olympic Village. Their section of the village features a custom coffee station for the athletes called BK Coffee, plus spaces to eat from the "Woolworths fridge" and recuperate in the "Harvey Norman lounge space." There is also a recovery gym and spa.

Keen to see inside the rooms at the Olympic Village? Luckily, the athletes are officially allowed to post on social media this year, and they've already started showing off their new digs.

Some apartments appear to be one or two-bed studios, while there are some larger apartments with multiple bedrooms and a small living room to share. There are two athletes living in most bedrooms, and some come complete with balconies.

The infamous cardboard beds have also been spotted, with each athlete given a single bed in which to sleep (more on that in a moment). There is also a bedside table and a clothing rack with shelves for storing personal items.

For the Aussie athletes, rooms also come complete with an official uniform bag and Kangaroo mascot, with 600 bags shipped over ahead of the opening ceremony.

As mentioned, each athlete has a single bed made from cardboard, with cutouts underneath for bag storage. The mattresses appear to be made from a styrofoam-like material, covered in a fabric sleeve.

Aussie tennis star Daria Saville revealed in a video that the mattresses can be flipped around for a firm, moderate, or soft option, depending on the athlete's preference. For taller athletes, there's also an extended option.

Water polo player Tilly Kearns posted a video on Instagram after her first night in the village, and it seems the soft side of the mattress leaves much to be desired.

"It's actually rock solid," Tilly said in the video. "Apparently there's a softer side... but that was the softer side."

"My back is about to fall off," her roommate Abby Andrews said in the video.

The comments were filled with confused fans, who couldn't comprehend how the athletes will be in their best shape for the Olympics if this is the sleeping set up.

"Imagine being the best athlete in the world and you're given a mattress that looks like a scrub daddy," one wrote in the comments.

"Is this the Olympic Games or the Hunger Games… seriously how do they expect elite athletes to achieve peak performance while sleeping on beds worse than you'd find in a backpackers?" another wrote.

Following her first video, Tilly followed up with a post to announce that the Team Manager has bought them mattress toppers and a second pillow.

"I'm so grateful because I was waking up every second hour, I actually thought about going on the floor," she said.

But the beds haven't been the on
