Canauxrama at the Heart of the Olympic Flame Relay's Finale

On the very last day of its long journey across France, from May 8th to July 26th, 2024, the Olympic flame boarded another boat from the Canauxrama fleet, the Rocca V, just a few hours before the opening ceremony, to make its way down the Canal Saint-Martin. Accompanied by a joyful team of 20 torchbearers who took turns along the picturesque route between Parc de la Villette and the mysterious Richard-Lenoir vault, the flame crossed a lifting bridge, two swing bridges, four double locks, and a 24-meter descent, highlighting the magic of the Canal Saint-Martin.

CANAUXRAMA ILLUMINATES PARIS BY CARRYING THE OLYMPIC FLAME ON THE SAINT-MARTIN CANAL

On July 26, 2024, the day of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, CANAUXRAMA shone brightly. Our company distinguished itself not only during the nighttime parade but especially by carrying the Olympic flame along the picturesque Saint-Martin Canal.
Our entire fleet - l'Arletty, Marcel Carné, Henri IV, and Gavroche - proudly participated in the opening parade, illuminating the Parisian waters. However, it was the Rocca V that had the honor of carrying the flame and its guardians. Departing from Parc de la Villette, our boat majestically navigated the canal, transporting about fifteen torchbearers. The journey concluded under the Bastille vault, where the flame vanished from the media's view, adding a touch of mystery to this historic event.
This day will remain etched in CANAUXRAMA's history, a testament to our commitment to Paris and the Olympic spirit.

Aboard the Rocca II, one of the boats in the Olympic parade

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will be held on Friday, July 26th. A team from TF1 was able to board our electric boat, Rocca II, which will participate in this event on the Seine, where every detail is meticulously arranged. Vigilance is necessary due to the high level of the Seine. Despite this, everything is organized with precision and geometry. The President of Canauxrama, Ghislain de Richecour, and the boat's crew members took part in the report.
This will be a unique opportunity to showcase our enthusiasm and hospitality to the world.

The Olympic Flame on the Canal Saint-Martin: A Historic Crossing

On July 26, 2024, the Olympic Flame will light up Paris and, for the first time, take to the famous Canal Saint-Martin. This emblematic canal, with its picturesque locks and romantic bridges, will be the scene of a historic moment.
The crossing of the Canal Saint-Martin by the Olympic Flame symbolizes the meeting of the spirit of the Games and Parisian heritage. The canal, which winds its way through some of the capital's most charming districts, will provide a unique and memorable backdrop for this exceptional event.
Locals and visitors alike will be able to admire the Flame reflected in the canal's calm waters, creating unforgettable memories. The Canal Saint-Martin, already famous for its peaceful promenades and picturesque views, will for one afternoon be the center of the Olympic world, capturing the essence of Paris and the sporting spirit in one magnificent scene.

Paris 2024 Olympics: first rehearsal of the opening parade on the Seine on 17 July

3 of our boats: Henri IV, Arletty and Marcel Carné took part in the first rehearsal of the 2024 Olympic Games opening parade on the Seine.

The objectives of this parade were to test the "manoeuvres", the "distances" between boats, the "duration" of the parade and the "video capture". First aid exercises were also carried out to simulate a distress situation. The precisely orchestrated test parade was a unique opportunity to appreciate the scale of the event and the enthusiasm of Parisians for the Games.
We are delighted to be able to count ourselves among the principal operators of this 'historic' moment on the Seine.
