Paris is the stadium for the opening ceremony
Yes, you read that right. For the first time in the history of the Olympics, the opening ceremony will not take place in a stadium but the city itself will become an open stadium for the parade of athletes. Paris Olympics 2024 is breaking ground by bringing sports into the city and is set to be held in the heart of Paris, the Seine.
Ceremony on the Seine River
Taking the celebrations and participation to new heights the parade of athletes will be held on the Seine with boats for each national delegation. The boats will be equipped with technologically advanced cameras to allow viewers to watch from the comfort of their houses. The parade will take place from east to west, and the 10,500 athletes from different nationalities will cross through the center of Paris. The parade will come to the end of its 6km route in front of the Trocadero, where the rest of the elements of Olympic protocol and final shows will take place.
It's free for everyone to watch
The main benefit of holding such an open and spectacular ceremony is it will be free for everyone to watch.

The organizers are not leaving any stone unturned as there will be huge screens and speakers set up strategically which allow everyone to enjoy the magical atmosphere of this show. The Opening Ceremony for Olympic Games Paris 2024 will be the largest in Olympic history.
