Seine River & Palais de Chaillot
The opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games will be held outside a sports stadium for the first time in history. With the aim of "hosted by athletes, hosted for athletes", 10500 athletes and delegations from various countries or regions will take more than 160 boats to march 6 kilometers on the Seine River, starting from the Austerlitz Bridge near the Paris Botanical Garden, then crossing the center of Paris from east to west, and finally ending at the Summer Palace where traditional Olympic ceremonies and cultural performances will be held.
