Watch the Olympics on the big screen in Paris

FROM the opening ceremony, to the passing of the flame, people will be able to watch the London Olympics on a large screen outside Paris l'Hôtel de Ville, Rue de Rivoli.

You will be able to follow the sporting endeavours of the athletes, with the opening ceremony being broadcast live and then coverage from France 2 and TF1 on offer until the Games' closure on August 12.

While just around the corner, Paris Plages will be getting into the Olympic spirit with sports and events.
