2024 Summer Olympics torch relay

The 2024 Summer Olympic torch relay ran from 16 April 2024 until 26 July 2024.

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, as well as Monaco.

The French leg ended during the opening ceremony when it was used to light the Olympic cauldron.

One or two team relays also took place: 24 participants, led by a captain and representing an Olympic or Paralympic French sports federation, carried the flame together for a leg.

Each daily relay ended in a stage town, where a mini-cauldron was lit and celebrations took place.
