Hundreds of French towns and cities have hosted the Olympic flame since the torch relay began on 8 May in Marseille. RFI was in Eaubonne, northwest of Paris to catch the action on 19 July.
From the Louvre Museum to the Eiffel Tower, from Paris' posh districts to working-class neighbourhoods, hundreds of people have carried the Olympic torch through the French capital for two days of celebrations before the Summer Games kick off next Friday 26 July.
