About
This summer, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will be synonymous with UNESCO!
Provins will have the honour of hosting the Olympic Torch Relay on Saturday 20 July 2024, with the support of the Department of Seine-et-Marne.
A unique opportunity to celebrate the values of the Olympic spirit and sport.
The passage of the flame will echo the priceless wealth of our thousand-year-old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
The torch tour will pass through the heart of the medieval town, revealing some of its most emblematic historic monuments (a map of the entire route is available in the photos):
the flame will start at the top of the Cesar Tower, cross the courtyard of the Lycée Thibaut de Champagne (former palace of the Counts of Champagne), pass through the Place du Châtel and the majestic ramparts, to arrive at the Provins Tourist Office.
Throughout the day, activity zones will be set up so that everyone can experience the excitement of the Games together:
- Cours du Lycée Thibaut de Champagne,
- Place du Châtel,
- Espace Villegagnon (close to the Porte de Jouy),
- Théâtre des Remparts (site of the show Les Aigles des Remparts),
- Halle / Tourist Office reception area.
Complete programme in progress.
We invite you to turn out in force to support the athletes who will be carrying the flame with pride!
This historic date will be extended by an exceptional evening "Provins by Candlelight"!
Provins and its heritage will then shine with a thousand flames...
