The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are set to make history with an unprecedented opening ceremony on the Seine River, featuring a parade of 10,500 athletes and a celebration of French culture and heritage.
However, the event is overshadowed by significant security concerns following a coordinated attack on the French high-speed train network, which has stranded hundreds of thousands of passengers.
Despite these challenges, Paris is determined to showcase its beauty and hospitality to the world, with a focus on inclusivity and accessibility for spectators.
