    The 2024 Olympics in Paris will feature competitions at some of the city's most iconic locations. The opening ceremony will take place along the Seine River, with athletes marching across it. Additionally, beach volleyball will be held under the Eiffel Tower, and equestrian events will occur at the Palace of Versailles.

    While most of the events will be in Paris, some competitions will take place elsewhere in France. Soccer matches will be spread across the country, and surfing will be held in French Polynesia.

    Here's a list of all 35 venues and the sports that will take place at each location during the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
