Boats parade along Seine in practice run, just over a month before Olympic opening ceremony

A flotilla of boats paraded along the Seine River in a practice run for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony, scheduled for July 26th.

The rehearsal tested technical aspects such as timing, lighting and choreography to ensure a flawless event. Spectators gathered along the riverbanks to watch the boats glide past iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral. The successful run also allowed security personnel to refine their safety measures for the high-profile event.
