An Opening Ceremony Outside Of The Stadium
The Paris Olympics will be the first time ever that the Opening Ceremony will be held outside of a stadium. The Opening Ceremony is set to be held in the heart of the city along its famed main river, the Seine.
During the Opening Ceremony, a parade of athletes will sail down river Seine upon 94 boats, one for every participating country. The boats will travel 6km sailing past icon- ic landmarks of Paris such as the Louvre and the Notre Dame de Paris. The procession of the athletes will end in front of the Trocadero. Trocadero is across the Seine River from the iconic Eiffel Tower. This is where the remainder of the ceremony will take place.
For the first time ever in Olympic history, the Paris Opening Ceremony will not charge most of its spectators an admission fee. Since this will be a mostly free event, it is expected to be the largest Opening Cere- mony in Olympic Games history.
