Organizers of the Olympic Games carried out a simulated Olympic torch relay in Aube on Friday. The sacred fire will be lit on April 16 in Olympia in Greece, will arrive by sea in Marseille on May 8 before traveling through French territory until setting the cauldron ablaze on the evening of July 26.
“We have to be able to remain calm in the event of the unexpected” says the deputy director of the torch relay, Grégory Murac. ‘We took advantage of the moment, something like that will only happen once in a lifetime,’ smile Justine and Anne-Aymone, porters.
