Paris ended its feel-good summer with a grand parade of French athletes on the Champs Elysées on September 14 when the country threw one last party to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Parade of Champions included 460 Olympic and Paralympic athletes, including 120 Paris medalists. About 70,000 spectators lined up on the parade's route on the French capital's famed avenue that ended on a ring-shaped stage around the Arc de Triomphe monument. Hundreds of the Games' volunteers, Olympic and Paralympic representatives and city officials also attended.
Organizers delivered a celebration of French sport on par with the spectacular and audacious opening and closing of the July 26-Aug. 11 Olympics and the Aug. 28-Sept. 8 Paralympic ceremonies.
