During the Parade of Nations within the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, it is expected that athletes and officials from each participating team marched in the Jardins du Trocadéro preceded by their flag and placard bearer. Each flag bearer had been chosen either by the team's National Olympic Committee or by the athletes themselves. On 13 December 2021, it was announced that the opening ceremony will feature athletes being transported by boat from Pont d'Austerlitz to Pont d'Iéna along the Seine river. The 6 km (3.7 miles) route will pass landmarks such as the Louvre, Notre-Dame de Paris, and Place de la Concorde, and feature cultural presentations. The official protocol will take place at a 30,000-seat "mini-stadium" at the Trocadéro. Organizers stated that the ceremony would be the most "spectacular and accessible opening ceremony in Olympic history", with Estanguet stating that it would be free to attend, and estimating that it could attract as many as 600,000 spectators. In addition, each team will have the option of having a male flag bearer and a female flag bearer in an effort to promote gender equality.[1][2]
