The opening ceremony of the Tokyo Games is barely over than that of Paris is already in the minds.

In those, at least, of Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee, and of Emmanuel Macron.

In an interview with

L'Equipe

 this Saturday, the President of the Republic indicated that, for the opening of the Paris Games in 2024, the ceremony will "take place on the Seine".

The opening ceremony “will take place on barges on the Seine, also using its banks and all that the Seine offers as an urban setting,” Emmanuel Macron told the sports daily […].

Our desire is that we can truly offer an unforgettable event.

"

By “leaving” the opening ceremony of a closed stadium, the Paris Games should therefore allow more people to attend this global event.
