Sports including football, rugby sevens, handball, and archery may already be underway, but billions of eyes will be on the Opening Ceremony that will declare the Games officially open.
And before the Olympic cauldron is lit, a spectacular show awaits, with the Opening Ceremony set to be held along the Seine.
It promises to be an opening ceremony to remember and an occasion one would want to miss.
The Opening Ceremony starts at 19:30 CEST (9 7:30 Nigerian time), with the three-hour spectacle set to take the world on a journey through Parisian history and architecture.
The parade will take place along the River Seine, with Thomas Jolly, a French theatre director and actor, overseeing proceedings as the artistic director.
