00:00 It's the flame that will light up all corners of France in the lead up to the 2024 Olympics.
00:06 Arriving in Marseille on the 8th of May, aboard France's oldest sailing three-mast ship,
00:11 the Olympic torch will embark on a 69-day journey.
00:15 We will be in the old port like everyone in Marseille.
00:18 I think it will attract people and also the Belème ship is a very special sight.
00:23 For the next three months, 10,000 torchbearers in over 400 towns and cities will take part
00:28 in a torch relay through key landmarks in the country like Mont Saint-Michel, the Millau
00:34 Viaduct, from Normandy's beaches to those in Tahiti.
00:38 The Olympic torch will pass by the Palace of Versailles and the Chambord Castle.
00:44 It will then climb Mount Ventoux and the red carpet steps in Cannes.
00:50 It will head from Marseille through the south of France to Corsica, cross western France
00:55 all the way to Brest, then visit the six overseas territories via one of the fastest sailboats
01:02 in the world.
01:05 It will then return to Nice, travel through the east of France to the Mont Blanc and the
01:10 vineyards of Bourgogne, before arriving in Paris.
01:15 After almost three months, the Olympic flame will return for the Games opening ceremony
01:20 on the 26th of July.
