2024 Summer Olympics

The 2024 Summer Olympic torch relay will run from 16 April 2024 until 26 July 2024.[1][2] After it was lit in Olympia, Greece, the torch then travelled through Greece, arriving at Athens on 26 April. It sailed across the Mediterranean on the three-masted barque Belem to Marseille on 9 May and subsequently began its travel across Metropolitan and Overseas France along a small stepover in Monaco. The French leg will end during the opening ceremony when it will be used to light the Olympic cauldron. It is expected that the Paris 2024 cauldron will be erected at the Jardins du Trocadéro stadium.

Route in France and Monaco

Belem arriving in Marseille

Each day, the relay will cover a different part of France.With a small takeover in Monaco,several french towns receive the flame, as well as one or two iconic places, such as historical places or natural landmarks. One or two team relays also take place: 24 participants, led by a captain and representing an Olympic or Paralympic French sports federation, carry the flame together for a leg. Each daily relay ends in a stage town, where a mini-cauldron is lit and celebrations take place. This list also included the June 11 leg scheduled for Nouméa, New Caledonia before it was cancelled due to the 2024 New Caledonia unrest.[4]
