Hollywood star Halle Berry will lead a ceremonial procession down Cannes’ iconic Croisette Boulevard on Tuesday, according to Page Six sources, ahead of the Paris Games’ launch next week.
The event will see the boulevard, typically bustling with luxury shops and Cannes Lions festival attendees, temporarily closed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. local time. Berry’s participation in carrying the Olympic flame adds a touch of glamour to the prestigious event, marking a symbolic start to the Olympic celebrations in France.
