A unique opening ceremony of Paris Olympics on the River Seine

The six kilometer long journey starts at the Austerlitz Bridge and winds around Paris’ two central islands, the Île Saint-Louis and the Île de la Cité.
Along the way, the athletes passed through several iconic Games venues, providing a beautiful and memorable experience, before finishing at the Trocadero Gardens in front of the Eiffel Tower.
This is the first time in Olympic history that the opening ceremony will be held outside the stadium, adding a special touch to the Paris Games.
