It was a beautiful artistic and heritage walk that the flame took on July 14 and 15 in the heart of the French capital.

At the Louvre Museum, Place de la Bastille, in front of the Opéra Garnier or on the steps of the Sacré-Cœur… So many stops for the Olympic flame carried by many artists. It crossed iconic cultural sites of the capital on July 14 and 15, 2024.
