The Olympic flame will cross the Aube on July 13 and return on August 26 for the Paralympic Games. A dress rehearsal will be organized on Friday March 22 in Aube, a territory which was not chosen at random.

The idea is to be in the real conditions of the passage of the flame even if everything will be done to minimize constraints. The most recalcitrant will be fined, says Cécile Dindar, current prefect of Aube. The torch relay will impact the lunch break, an important moment for children's day in Romilly-sur-Seine.
