The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on July 26, 2024, will take part on the River Seine, organisers have announced, breaking the long-held Summer Games tradition of a stadium procession of athletes and officials. More than 160 boats filled with athletes and officials from more than 200 countries will sail almost 6km (4 miles), with organisers expecting crowds of 600,000 people for what they call the largest-ever Olympic ceremony. The closing ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Trocadero, an expanse of gardens and fountains which overlooks the Eiffel Tower. IMAGES
