The curtain will come down on the Paris’ feel-good summer with a grand parade of French athletes on the Champs Elysées as the country throws one last party to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Tens of thousands cheered, clapped, danced and sang to celebrate French athletes and to relive, one last time, the Games that uplifted a nation.

As France prepares to bid a final farewell to the Paris Olympics on Saturday with a parade on the Champs-Elysees, President Emmanuel Macron announced his intention to create a "national day of sport" every year on Sept.

The Champions Parade for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games included a march down the Champs-Élysées and a medal ceremony led by President Emmanuel Macron.
