Paris 2024 Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony 16

            Members of the French Paralympic team arriving at the opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, at Place de la Concorde.

Para athletes from 168 delegations paraded around the largest square in Paris, which was transformed for one evening only into a magnificent open-air arena.

At the end of the ceremony, there were fireworks and the Paris 2024 Cauldron was lit once again returning to the skies over Paris.
