One year after the Olympic Games: relive the parade on the Seine with the Fête du Bateau

On July 26, 2025, one year to the day after the historic opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Fête du Bateau offers a festive re-enactment of the Olympic parade on the Seine.

In a friendly, musical atmosphere, some thirty decorated boats will parade along the river, from Escale Henri IV to Beaugrenelle.

Among them, the Paris Yacht 1, an iconic collector's yacht, which welcomed the Bangladeshi delegation to the 2024 ceremony.

"To see the Paris Yacht 1 sailing again a year after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is to rekindle the momentum of beauty, peace and universality that carried us through that day." - Denis Lagarde, founder of Paris Yacht 1

Rendezvous on the morning of July 26, the anniversary of the magnificent Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The event is entirely free of charge, and can be admired from the quayside along the entire route. The public is invited to gather along the banks of the Seine to relive this page of Parisian history, which has become a veritable legacy of the Olympic Games.

Organized in partnership with Paris Je t'aime, Paris Île-de-France and the City of Paris, this morning event celebrates the Seine as a living, artistic and civic stage.
