Olympics 2024: National police cyclists on display as French delegation travels (and Celine Dion is a fan)

“Grandiose”, “magical”, “historic”, “the most beautiful opening ceremony in the history of the Olympic Games”. 72 hours after the official start of the Olympic Games on July 26, the miracle is still intact for the thousands of spectators who gathered on the banks of the Seine for the occasion, as well as for the television viewers who watched the show behind their screens. . But some moments that happened before the show are also worth watching, like this French delegation bus.

Indeed, the Blues were escorted by National Police bikers to join their ships and take part in the Seine River Sea Parade. And the least we can say is that they took their role very seriously, going so far as to show it off. Standing on motorcycles, like hall drivers, they used all tricks to entertain the French athletes, to the great happiness of the latter.

About 50,000 members of the police have been mobilized in Paris to ensure security during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. Some of them had the right to have a special moment with Celine Dion, as evidenced by this photo and comments from one LinkedIn agent. Mimicking traffic gestures, the Canadian star said he was “impressed” by the “dance” the officials did as they controlled traffic on their motorcycles. “It’s not a big deal. Our motorcycles are heavy, have a very low center of gravity and are therefore very stable,” his interlocutor reportedly replied, before being asked about Canadian customs in the field. “In Canada they say: “You, stop!” and when people don’t listen, they do,” he reportedly explained, giving a thumbs-up, prompting fits of laughter from his audience.
