Olympic Fever: Petřín Tower Lights Up in French Tricolor!

Today, Friday 26th, Prague residents can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Summer Olympic Games’ opening ceremony.

The Czech-French Chamber of Commerce, along with the restaurant Petite Eiffel, has organized an exciting program at the site.

The Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games will take place in Paris on Friday evening along the River Seine. Over 300,000 spectators will be present in the French capital, with hundreds of millions more watching on TV.

During the ceremony in Paris, Prague’s Petřín Tower will shine in blue, white, and red—the colors of the French tricolor. The illumination will start at 8:55 p.m. and continue until 5:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Additionally, the French House, known as Maison Francaise, will open next to the Petřín Lookout Tower as part of the La Petite Eiffel restaurant.

The opening event at 6 p.m. will be hosted by the French Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Stéphane Crouzat, and Czech Olympian Zuzana Hejnová. The menu will feature delicacies like frog legs, cider from Normandy, and Provençal wine.

The event is organized by the Czech-French Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with Petite Eiffel, under the patronage of Prague’s Mayor, Bohuslav Svoboda.

At the Olympic Games’ opening ceremony, Czech flag bearers will be judoka Lukáš Krpálek and archer Marie Horáčková. The opening ceremony of this year’s Olympic Festival in Prague will commence at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
