Yes, cricket was played at the 1900 Summer Olympic Games in the city of Paris, the capital of France. A match was played between a French team, comprising Britons living in Paris (mostly officials of the British Embassy) and a touring British club team called the Devon and Somerset Wanderers. It was a two-day match which commenced on August 19, 1900. The British team scored 117 and 145 for five. In reply, the French team scored 85 and 26. It was a twelve-a-side match. The Devon and Somerset Wanderers beat the French team by 151 runs.
