28 May 2024 --- Sephora, an official partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays of Paris, France, 2024, launches a store activation that will travel through 46 shops located in cities covered by the relay.

The Olympic torch travels across France and other French territories, starting with the lighting ceremony at the ancient site of the Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece, and ending in Paris in July.
