The Caribbean islands of French Guiana, Guadeloupe and Martinique are part of the Torch Relay for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a stage of the games that begins on April 16 in a ceremony at the Olympia sanctuary known as Prytaneum in Greece.

This stage of the Olympic and Paralympic Games of each edition, is translated as the approach to the beginning of the most important sporting events in the world, which brings together the best athletes of the more than 200 National Olympic Committees members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

These nations are overseas territories of France, located southeast of the Dominican Republic, and are three of the five Caribbean islands that the Paris 2024 torch will pass through on its way to France, as well as Reunion Island and French Polynesia.

The Organizing Committee of the Games indicated that the city of Cayenne, French Guiana, will receive the Torch Relay on June 8, coming from Brest, Finistère, a department of France located in the extreme western part of the Brittany region.

It will stay in French Guiana for two days, then travel to Reunion (June 12) and French Polynesia (June 13), before arriving in Bémaho, Guadeloupe, where the event will be June 14-15, and then travel to Fort-de-France, Martinique, for June 16-17.

The Olympic torch, which for Paris 2024 will be in a case manufactured by Louis Vuitton, is one of the most important elements prior to the Olympic Games and alerts the NOCs that the world’s most awaited summer games are approaching.

Paris 2024 Torch route

The route of the Paris 2024 Torch, which includes several Caribbean islands, is contemplated in 68 stages, independent of the previously established protocol acts, such as the Lighting Ceremony, the route in Greece, the delivery ceremony, among others.

Below, we will list the phases of the torch’s journey until it reaches France:
