The Olympics begin in Paris with river parade and concerts amid rain
The opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, the capital of France, took place under the rain with athlete parades along the Seine River.

One of the world’s most famous singers, Lady Gaga, performed near Notre-Dame Cathedral, including a French cabaret song in her repertoire.
Dancers performed on rooftops across the city, making the opening ceremony a truly auditory and visual spectacle.
Boats carrying athletes made a long procession along the 6-kilometer riverbank, greeting spectators by some of Paris's most famous landmarks.
For the first time, the Olympic opening ceremony was held outside a stadium, necessitating extensive security measures.
