With the Greek delegation and flag bearers Giannis Antetokounmpo and Antigoni Drisbiotis, the floating parade of athletes participating in the Paris Olympic Games began on the Seine.
For the first time in history, the opening ceremony takes place outside the stadium.
Dozens of boats transport thousands of athletes and artists along a 6 km route along the Seine.
Starting from the Pont Austerlitz, the parade will pass Notre Dame Cathedral and arrive close to the Eiffel Tower after passing bridges and gates including the Pont des Arts and the Pont Neuf, as well as close to many of the French capital’s landmarks.
