France Announces Scaled Back Opening Ceremony Plans

ceremony of the Paris Olympics for free.
Organizers had planned a large-scale opening ceremony along the Seine River
on July 26-th for up to 600-thousand people.
But security and logistical concerns have led the government to progressively
scale back ambitions.
Now, Interior Ministry officials said 222-thousand spectators can watch for
free from the upper embankments (堤岸).
But access will be allocated via quotas, primarily to select residents or
employees of towns hosting Olympic events.
