The Olympic torch was ignited using sunlight focused through a parabolic mirror on April 16 in Olympia, Greece, and made its way to France, arriving in Marseilles on May 8. French swimmer Florent Manaudou was the first to carry the torch upon its arrival in France.

Olympic Touch

The torch relay, which spans 68 days, has included stops at various historical sites, museums, and concerts. As the relay nears its conclusion, the identity of the individual who will light the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony remains a mystery. Potential candidates for this honor include three-time gold medalist Marie-Jose Perec, actor Omar Sy, soccer legend Zinedine Zidane, astronaut Thomas Pesquet, and survivors of the November 13, 2015, terrorist attacks in Paris.
