The start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games saw the likes of Lady Gaga and Celine Dion serenading spectators with their voices and performances as thousands gathered to witness the kick off to the events.
Organisers opted to host the ceremony throughout the entire city rather than in a single stadium, which is a decisive first in Olympic history.
On a rainy evening, thousands of athletes and performers paraded along the River Seine, with some countries sharing a vessel due to the small amount of competitors and other countries, like host France and the USA, filling up the boats.
The night concluded with the Eiffel Tower and the sky illuminated in vibrant colours, building up anticipation for days all centred around sports and athleticism.
