Water bottles are allowed in every Olympic sites! The official rule is up to 75cl, metal or plastic (no glass) but I've seen people coming in with much bigger water bottle or even jar, no problem. Security may ask you to do a drink test (had it once only). Tips if you don't have a bottle and want a cup: You can just pay the 2€ for the "consigne" and get an empty returnable cup (and you can get your 2€ back if your bring the cup back). You don't have to take a drink with it. (Did it in Concorde because I wanted the cup, they have a nice non-Coca one that makes a good souvenir.) There are also no rule against passing security with food, it's not in the list of prohibited items, and I entered multiple games with food in my bag that security saw.

It's funny because I keep advising that people bring their own food and then keep forgetting to do so myself. I got in with water bottles yesterday no problem too 👍

The official rule was no bottles above 75cL... I just took several bottles.

The Olympic flame is not fire, it is made of electricity and water. Ecological 2024 games with a bowl that does not burn with oil or gas. The magic 🏅🏅🏅

Pretty sure i've read the flame was booked until the end of the olympics on day 2, so if you really wanna get a look at it maybe look for a sponsor or something.

Is it true that there is no real fire in the olympic flame? I read it is a lot of led ligths and water spray that simulate the flames.
