Each national delegation will have their own boat that will be equipped with cameras. This will allow television and online viewers to get a closer look at the athletes. The 10,500 athletes will travel from east to west, crossing through the centre of the city. The parade will end its six-kilometre route in front of the Trocadéro, where the remaining events of the Paris Olympics 2024 protocol and final shows will take place. This outdoor concept also makes the Paris Olympics 2024 Opening Ceremony the largest in terms of audience and geographical coverage.
Magical performance by @celinedion at the Opening Ceremony at Atlanta 1996 ✨
