After a journey of several weeks since its arrival in Marseille on May 8, the Olympic flame arrives in the capital on July 14 and 15. Around fifty people, artists, athletes or members of civil society or associations will take turns these two days through the streets of Paris with the symbol of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Among the flame bearers is the Franco-Malian Aya Cissoko, a former high-level athlete, several times world and French boxing champion, who claims her dual nationality.
