Halle Berry brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to the Olympic torch relay by carrying the flame along the streets of Cannes.
PUBLISHED ON
The torch run took place during the 2024 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity - which had to be shut down temporarily to make way for the ceremonial passing of the flame. The flame is lit in Olympia, Greece - the ancestral home of the Olympic Games - and travels across the world to the city where the games are taking place.
The opening ceremony is set to make history as it will be the first time the event is not held within a stadium. It will instead stretch across Paris' River Seine and feature more than 3,000 dancers lining the city's bridges.Theatre director Thomas Jolly is taking charge of the opening ceremony and he told Le Parisien newspaper he's faced plenty of challenges along the way.
