Paris is gearing up for the start of the Paralympic Games, following the recent conclusion of the Olympics. Over 4,000 athletes with various impairments are set to compete in 22 sports during the 11-day event.
The opening ceremony is expected to be a grand affair, with organizers promising a visually stunning show. Unlike the Olympic opening ceremony, which featured a boat parade on the Seine River, the Paralympic ceremony will take place on land. Athletes will parade down the iconic Champs-Elysées to the ceremony at the Place de la Concorde.
