Welcoming the Olympic Flame is an exceptional event for the city of Reims, as it is for all the towns it passes through.
But this is not without consequences, particularly on traffic and parking.
In Reims, the torch relay will set off at 5:47 p.m. from the Parc de Champagne and arrive at 7:20 p.m. in front of the Porte de Mars.
But the restrictions began much earlier this Sunday morning.
