On Olympic Day, Friday 23 June, Paris 2024 and the Torch Relay Official sponsors, Coca-Cola, les Banques Populaires and les Caisses d’Epargne, unveiled the route of the Olympic Torch Relay. In the historical setting of the Grand Amphitheatre of the Sorbonne, where Pierre de Coubertin made the founding speech which established the modern Olympic Games, Paris 2024 revealed the 64 territories involved in the Relay and the first 165 locations (the 65 celebration sites and the 100 iconic places) which will welcome the Olympic Flame. The remaining towns, cities, and sites to be visited by the Olympic Flame will be disclosed by the territories involved in the Relay, starting today and over the next few weeks.

“Today, we are proud to unveil the route of the Olympic Torch Relay, which will be more than a circuit around France in 68 days. It will showcase the incredible breadth of our country Heritage, landscapes, museums, performing arts… And of course, its inhabitants,” declared Tony Estanguet, president of Paris 2024.

The flame will be lit up in Olympia, Greece on April 16, 2024, followed by a nine-day torch relay before sailing across the Mediterranean Sea from Athens to Marseille on May 8.

The Paris Olympic Games will open on July 26, 2024.
