The Paris 2024 Olympic flame will arrive in France on May 8, 2024, kicking off a torch relay across the French territories, the organizers announced on Friday.
In the historical and symbolic setting of the Grand Amphitheater of the Sorbonne University, where Pierre de Coubertin made the founding speech which established the modern Olympic Games, Paris 2024 revealed the 64 territories involved in the relay and the first 165 locations which will welcome the Olympic flame.
“Today, we are proud to unveil the route of the Olympic Torch Relay, which will be more than a circuit around France in 68 days. It will showcase the incredible breadth of our country: Heritage, landscapes, museums, performing arts… And of course, its inhabitants,” declared Tony Estanguet, president of Paris 2024.
