A journey through the east of Paris before reaching the Seine On the 14th and 15th of July last year, the flame had already crossed Paris. Nina Métayer, Thierry Henry, and Jamel Debbouze were among those carrying the torch for Paris 2024. For its final journey, the flame is once again making its way through the capital. According to the City of Paris website, it will start at Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement, continue along the Canal de l'Ourcq and the Bassin de la Villette, and then reach the Canal Saint-Martin in the 10th arrondissement. It will then arrive at the Seine where it will finally end its tour of France and the world, by lighting the Olympic cauldron.
