The Paris 2024 Olympics kicked off with a spectacular opening ceremony, held for the first time outside a stadium on the iconic river Seine. Despite heavy rain, the event unfolded smoothly, featuring stunning performances by international stars Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, who sang in French. The ceremony included a unique display of athletes transported on a fleet of barges along a 6 km stretch of the river, passing by some of Paris's most famous landmarks. Creative director Thomas Jolly highlighted the effort to choose artists who embody love and emotion, with Celine Dion being a top choice. While the ceremony celebrated French culture, fashion, and history, the rainy weather led some of the 300,000 spectators to leave early. The event also posed challenges for security, particularly after a sabotage attack on the TGV rail network earlier in the day. Watch the video for highlights and reactions from this historic ceremony.
