Paris 2024 Olympics aims for Eiffel Tower as torchbearer – source.

Paris 2024 Organizers Plan to Install Olympic Flame on Eiffel Tower

According to a source with direct knowledge of the matter, Paris 2024 organizers have been working on installing the Olympic flame on the Eiffel Tower. The flame will not be placed at the top of the tower due to technical reasons, but the combination of the two iconic images will provide a dramatic backdrop to the July 26-Aug. 11 event. The venue for the lighting of the flame on the opening day of the Olympic Games has not yet been decided, and a Paris 2024 spokesperson did not deny working on installing the flame at the Eiffel Tower. The flame will arrive in Marseille on May 8 by boat after a 10-day journey across the Mediterranean from Greece.
