Unlike previous editions held in a stadium, the Paris 2024 opening ceremony will take place along the River Seine. This will be the first time in Olympic history that the ceremony is held outside a traditional stadium setting.
The ceremony will feature a parade of athletes along the Seine. Delegations will travel on boats, creating a moving spectacle through the heart of Paris, passing by iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Special arrangements will be made to facilitate the movement of athletes, officials, and spectators.
The Paris 2024 Games aim to be the most sustainable Olympics ever. The opening ceremony will emphasize themes of sustainability and environmental responsibility, aligning with the overall goals of the Games.
