History is being made tonight as the 2024 Olympic Games opens with a jaw-dropping ceremony on Paris’ Seine River! 🗼 For the first time ever, over 6,800 athletes from 200+ countries and regions will glide along a 6-kilometer water parade aboard 90+ boats, replacing the traditional stadium march. The spectacle starts at 7:30 p.m. local time, with the Eiffel Tower serving as a golden backdrop.
Before the main event, explore Paris in full Olympic spirit: streets buzzing with fans, iconic landmarks lit in national colors, and local artists adding flair to every corner. Whether you’re a sports junkie or a culture explorer, this \"floating stadium\" concept redefines what mega-events can be! 🌍✨
