French Gendarmerie officers check pedestrians and cyclists QR codes and luggages at a barriers checkpoint to circulate near the Louvre Museum in Paris on July 18, 2024, ahead of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. French security forces began locking down large parts of central Paris on July 18, 2024, ahead of the hugely complex Olympics opening ceremony the week after on the river Seine. The opening parade along six kilometres (four miles) of the river led to the closure of riverside central districts to most vehicles from 5:00 am (0300 GMT) on July 18.
