Snoop Dogg has arrived in Paris, and he will be one of the last torchbearers for the Olympic flame before it reaches the Eiffel Tower to start the games.

Snoop is a big fan of the Olympics, and even made an appearance at the US Olympic trials in Oregon, running a 200-meter exhibition race in 34.44 seconds.

Snoop has said before that he grew up watching the Olympics and enjoys celebrating the athletes and all of their hard work.

Snoop Dogg will carry the torch through the neighborhood of Saint-Denis, the last stop before the Eiffel Tower, said the town’s mayor, Mathieu Hanotin.
