Only a few weeks after the end of the Paris Olympics, the opening ceremony for the Paralympics kicked off in spectacular style, held outside of a stadium for the first time in history.

140 artists, including 16 performers with disabilities, took center stage with the parade of athletes starting at the bottom on the iconic Champs-Élysées before heading into the famed Place de la Concorde, the largest square in the French capital.

A total of 168 delegations participated in the celebration.
