“We will have 104 000 spectators on the lower bank who have paid for a ticket,” Darmanin told a hearing in the Senate. “Then you have 222 000 people on the higher banks (with free tickets).”

A total of 180 boats are set to take part in the opening ceremony.  of which 94 will contain athletes, the top security official for the Paris region, Marc Guillaume, told the same hearing.

 

Organisers have scaled back the opening ceremony in the face of resistance from French security services and worries about controling such large crowds and the risk of terror attacks.

Organisers and the Paris mayor’s office had initially imagined up to two million people in attendance, while Darmanin referred to 600 000 tickets in 2022.

 

The open-air boat parade is in keeping with promises to make the Paris Olympics “iconic”, with the local organising committee keen to break from past traditions in the way it stages the world’s biggest sporting event.
