The number of spectators who will be able to attend the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games on July 26 on the banks of the Seine has been reduced to around 300,000 spectators.
The number of spectators who will be able to attend the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games on July 26 on the banks of the Seine is "around 300,000", indicated Wednesday Gérald Darmanin, a figure revised significantly downwards.
“The idea is that there are 100,000 people on the lower platforms”, with paid tickets, and “more than 220,000 people on the upper platforms”, with free tickets, “and then there are all those who live and who will be able to rent, have evenings along the Seine", detailed the Minister of the Interior on France 2. Gérald Darmanin announced in October 2022 to the Senate “600,000 spectators”, including 500,000 on the high quays.
