Eiffel Tower To Host Iconic Olympic Opening Ceremony Finale

Olympic rings to celebrate the IOC official announcement that Paris won the 2024 Olympic bid are seen in front of the Eiffel Tower at the Trocadero square in Paris

The area near the end of the multi-mile parade route during the Olympic opening ceremony is set to become a historic and iconic location. The Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris, will be a central feature of this unique setting. Adorned with Olympic rings, the tower will overlook the end of the route where athletes will disembark from their river boats.

As the athletes make their way off the boats, they will walk across a stage that has been designed in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, adding to the grandeur and symbolism of the event. This creative and visually stunning setup is sure to leave a lasting impression on both participants and spectators alike.

Despite the excitement and anticipation surrounding the ceremony, the weather has not been entirely cooperative. The rain has once again started to fall, prompting attendees to quickly don their ponchos and open their umbrellas in preparation for the start of the event.

As the ceremony draws near, the combination of the iconic Eiffel Tower backdrop and the inclement weather only adds to the drama and spectacle of the occasion. This unique blend of history, architecture, and nature promises to make this Olympic opening ceremony one to remember for years to come.
