Results of the competition “The journey of the Olympic Flame in France”

The Hellenic Olympic Committee, the National Olympic Academy and the French Institute of Greece, thank all the primary and secondary schools of Greece that took part in the competition “The journey of the Olympic Flame in France”.

The students read, researched and recorded the cultural elements of the French cities, which welcome the Olympic Flame before it arrives in Paris to light the Olympic altar and the opening of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
