Paralympic torch arrives in France via the Channel Tunnel

The 2024 Paralympic Games torch reached France via the Channel Tunnel yesterday.

The torch relay began on Saturday in Stoke Mandeville, England, where the event was first imagined by neurologist Ludwig Guttmann in 1948.

Yesterday, British athletes carried the torch midway through the Channel Tunnel before handing it over to French competitors, who crossed over to Calais in the host country.

The flame will make its way to Paris, where it will be used to light the Paralympic cauldron during the opening ceremony on Wednesday.
