The Games will be held August 30th to September 8th.  The Opening Ceremony parade runs along the famous Champs-Elysees, with celebrations continuing at the Place de la Concorde.  Once again, the beauty of Paris will be highlighted.  Very exciting for those of us who enjoy Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Loved it.

Christine and the Queens is a star.

Molly Burke an inspiration, along with the athletes from all over the world.

Paris, more gorgeous than ever. Almost enough to make me start flying again. Are transatlantic shipping/cruise routes still a thing?

The Bolero interlude was probably my favorite part, I expected the climax to be the lighting of the flame, but no - there was more!

it's a shame more people don't watch the Paralympics.
