France bid a final and reluctant farewell to the Paris Olympics on Saturday with a parade on the Champs-Elysees followed by an evening concert. Many of France's medal winners were presented with the country's top award, the Legion d'Honneur, by President Emmanuel Macron.
Around 300 French athletes and parathletes took part in the afternoon parade which featured more nearly 10,000 people in total, including volunteers and public sector workers such as garbage collectors.
