I was going to argue the same point until I looked up Grenoble to find that the city is actually only a couple hundred meters above sea level. The surrounding mountains are much higher, but not the city itself. It's kind of a tricky way of asking the question, in that you're tempted to figure out the Winter host as opposed to the Summer, but I like it.

I'm pretty sure I wrote 'horsemen of the apocalypse' without four... it's a very strict answer.

That might be what they are, but four horseman of the apocalypse is allmost a title, it is the term they are known by.

The one for the Eiffel tower was even called Exposition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposition_Universelle_(1889) I tried the combinations you mentioned, too, and just couldn't come up with the word fair.

I'm glad to see that someone *accurately* listed Conquest as one of the Four Horsemen. Normally, people name "Pestilence" instead.

the Eiffel tower answer is wrong. The name of the event is and was "expo" short of "universal exposition". "World's fair" is just the kind of event
