PARIS (AP) — The world's best Paralympic athletes, parading down France’s most famous boulevard with their prosthetic limbs, mobility chairs and stories of adversity, heading to a grand celebration of their prowess and sports on the Paris square where the French Revolutionaries of 1789 chopped off heads.
Only 17 days after the July 26-Aug. 11 Paris Olympics, the Place de la Concorde will then take center stage for the unprecedented opening ceremony of the Aug. 28-Sept. 8 Paralympics.
“This festival of inclusion all begins with the truly unique experience of thousands of Paralympians parading down the world’s most famous avenue. What an amazing thrill it’s going to be to enter the Champs-Elysées and then make the journey down to Place de la Concorde, all the while being framed by the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre,” he said in remarks distributed by 2024 organizers.
