Description
A few hours before the Olympic flame arrives in Marseille, Tony Estanguet, President of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee, says Marseille was the "obvious choice" to kick off celebrations, as was the choice of Florent Manaudou as the first torchbearer on French soil. For Marseille mayor Benoît Payan, the ceremony will be a "moment of fraternity and solidarity". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
