Route in France

Each day, the relay will cover a different territory. Several towns receive the flame, as well as one or two iconic places, such as historical places or natural landmarks. One or two team relays also take place: 24 participants, led by a captain and representing an Olympic or Paralympic french sports federation, carry the flame together for a leg. Each daily relay ends in a stage town, where a mini-cauldron is lit and celebrations take place.
