After the Olympic flame lighting ceremony took place in the ancient site of Olympia, Greece, the torch will arrive in Marseille in the south of France as it begins its journey to the Olympic Games Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony.
Following its lighting in Olympia, the site of the Ancient Olympic Games, the flame will travel to Marseille in the South of France, transported on the Bélem, a majestic three-masted vessel that first took to the seas in 1896. It is the last of the great French ships of the XIX century to still be in use and will connect Athens to Marseille - two great cities with a deep-rooted shared history.
The Olympic Torch Relay, which is sponsored by Coca-Cola and Groupe BPCE, will then begin its long journey to the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, which is scheduled to take place on 26 July 2024 in France’s capital. The Torch Relay route will be revealed in May 2023.
“This important event will give people a taste of the spirit of the Games that will be seen in Marseille in the summer when 800 athletes will be welcomed, 10 sailing events and 10 football matches will take place,” said Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024.
According to skateboarder Vincent Matheron, who was born and raised in Marseille and came 7th at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, welcoming the flame to his hometown will be a great source of pride.
“This is where I have lived for all my life, where I began skateboarding... Receiving the Olympic flame is a great honour,” he said before competing in the world park skateboarding championships in the United Arab Emirates, from 5-12 February.
“Marseille is a town that promotes sports all across France as we have the sea, the sun, football, Stade de Marseille, skateboard, all the sports possible... I think the city will be proud.”
