Two weeks later, Paris fell in love with sports once again. The Paralympics begin today, as the opening ceremony took place at the Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Elysées. French President Emmanuel Macron opened the 2024 Paralympics. A total of 4,400 Paralympians from 167 countries marched from the Champs-Elysées to Place de la Concorde.

The ceremony itself was a grand display of diversity, resilience, and competitive spirit, featuring stunning performances that showcased French culture and the Paralympic values of determination and equality.
