The moon in Olympic rings set the tone for the Grand Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony

With the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Games just days away, this enchanting event of the moon in Olympic rings at the Eiffel Tower has set a perfect tone. The ceremony, set to take place on July 26, will be unlike any other in Olympic history.

For the first time, it will be held outside a stadium, with the Seine River as the venue. Athletes will participate in the ceremony along the river, creating a unique and memorable experience.

Fans will have free access to several points along the Seine's banks to watch the event, while ticketed access will be required for closer views. Instead of the traditional parade of athletes in a stadium, around 100 boats will carry an estimated 10,500 athletes along the Seine, passing by iconic Parisian landmarks.

The anticipation for the Paris 2024 Olympics has been building for months, and the city has left no stone unturned in its preparations. From the athletes training rigorously to the city enhancing its infrastructure, every detail has been meticulously planned to ensure a seamless and memorable event since hosting the last Summer Olympics about 100 years ago.
