What are the Olympic venues at Paris 2024?
STORY: From Versailles to river Seine, the world's best athletes will have the chance to compete in some of the most iconic and historical locations throughout France and Tahiti during the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Paris will have 15 competition venues and host 21 of the 32 Olympic sports.
Let's take a closer look at what they will look like.
On the river Seine, thousands of athletes will parade in boats for the opening ceremony on July 26.
The Seine will also play host to swimmers during triathlon and open water swimming events.
It's the first time the river has been deemed safe to swim in since Paris last hosted the Games 100 years ago, in 1924.
Across the river, the Grand Palais has been renovated to accommodate the fencing and taekwondo events.
Beach volleyball competitions will be held on the Champ de Mars, the world-famous garden at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
The Place de la Concorde will host the more urban events, including freestyle BMX, skateboarding and breakdancing.
For archery, cycling and athletics events, spectators will head to the Hotel des Invalides, which houses museums as well as the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Outside of Paris, equestrian events will take place in the famous Versailles gardens.
Sailing events will be held in a brand-new nautical center in southern city of Marseille.
And in a nod to France's overseas territories, surfing events will take place in Teahupoʻo, a village on the coast of Tahiti, an island in French Polynesia.
The Olympics will bring together 10,500 Olympic athletes from 206 countries, while just weeks later Paris will play host to 4,400 Paralympic athletes.
Events will be watched by more than 13 million spectators and four billion television viewers across the world, totaling 100,000 hours of TV broadcasting.
