It’s nearly 100 days to go until the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Olympic flame has been lit. The ceremony takes place in Greece’s ancient Olympia, where the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. The torch will first travel 3,000 miles through Greece, before crossing the Mediterranean to France in May on the three-masted ship Belem. It then will travel through France and its overseas territories before arriving in Paris for the start of the games in July.
