As the Olympic and Paralympic Games draw near, athletes and fans alike eagerly anticipate the TeamNL House / Netherlands House in Paris — a vibrant hub where Dutch pride, camaraderie, and athletic excellence converge. Nestled within the picturesque Parc de la Villette, this house transcends mere physical space; it embodies the spirit of the Netherlands and celebrates the achievements of its athletes. The TeamNL house was formerly known in previous Olympic editions as the Holland Heineken House (HHH) and they only house where every athlete that wins a medal for Holland / Netherlands makes an appearance and is celebrated in the evenings!
