Some 110 heads of state and government attended the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games along the Seine River. A true demonstration of the strength and power of the Olympic movement, and a factor that forced security measures to be increased to prevent any possible change of script.
On Friday afternoon, Macron received at the Elysée some 110 heads of state and government who had arrived in Paris for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
From there, they left for the stands specially set up in the Trocadero Gardens, right in front of the Eiffel Tower.
There, on the bridge that connects these two emblematic points of Paris, ends the first ceremony that does not take place inside a stadium.
“We will welcome the world, it is a great pride,” the French president said last night in a television interview, broadcast live from the Trocadero itself. “No country has tried before what we are going to do with the Seine,” he said.
The Spanish Royal Family was among the Royal Houses present at this inauguration. Of course, television production is economical when it comes to focusing on the heads of state and presidents of government who are on the box.
