Yup, for me, this is the second time in a row Paralympics Opening Ceremony has exceeded Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Perfect weather, but not just that - Great theatrical pieces. The message went through perfectly.

Hats off.

I understand why they wanted to do the opening alongside Seine River for the Olympics. Just look at the sunset, it’s so beautiful. Too bad the weather must ruin it.

Another reminder for people with disabilities that they can do anything!❤️

The woman on the grand piano playing and singing, the band playing, the sound quality and singing are all very beautiful.

My heart fills with pride to see my brothers and sisters saying to the world:
We can and you because you say you can't. Bravo!!

[riceballwakame]

As expected, France has a rich power of expression. They are full of the talent to move us not instantly but gradually, on the subconscious level!
I was surprised when I realized that tears had started flowing.
In particular, the scene and music when the athlete with a prosthetic leg wandered around on crutches after the team had finished appearing. At this point, the emotions that I usually suppress welled up inside me and I broke down in tears.

At both the Oympics and Paralympics opening ceremonies, France's casual approach to emotion made us cry and open our hearts!

[VevoIDNVEVO]

[ZaynebKacemi]

It was much better than the opening ceremony of the Olympiques 😊😅

[christophermajor]

This is an opportunity to put aside our differences, prejudice's and negativities, lets all come together as humans, friends and compatriots and support a fair games. Lets just love one another, respect one another and let the games begin!! Vive la liberte

[jorgeortega]

For everyone saying this was better than the Olympic inauguration: it was directed by the same guy. So dont be a hypocrite

[riceballwakame]

The grand piano performance and the scene of suit jackets slamming against the white floor were innovative and refreshing.
The large stage and aerial footage made for a majestic ceremony with an outstanding sense of openness.
The athletes seemed more relaxed than usual during the Olympic Opening Ceremony and games, and even at this Opening Ceremony, and they looked filled with a sense of relief, satisfaction, joy and emotion.

Music for the torch relay at the Olympic and Paralympic opening ceremonies.
It's fantastical and dreamy and I love it.

The costumes of the athletes are also in gentle colors.
The design is also stylish and beautiful.
