After months of preparations, the opening ceremony for the Paris 2024 Olympics are set for Friday evening.
Residents of the French capital, woke up to a heavy police presence across the city ahead of the event.
Instead of a traditional march into a stadium, about 6,800 athletes will parade on more than 90 boats on the Seine River for 6 kilometers (3.7 miles).
This will start the ceremony, not mark the end of it, another break from tradition.
The ceremony starts at 1:30 p.m. EDT/7:30 p.m. CEST and is expected to last more than three hours.
