After a surprising and memorable Opening Ceremony imagined by Olympic and Paralympic Artistic Director Thomas Jolly, French and international spectators were eager to see what the Closing Ceremony would be like.
Held in the Stade de France, this farewell party wasn't quite as spectacular as the big show on the Seine at the start of the Games, but it did showcase some great French bands and artists. Zaho de Sagazan, Phoenix, Air, Kavinsky or Joe Dassin... France's old and new music scenes seduced audiences at the Stade de France and around the world.
Our tricolored singers were joined on stage by a host of great international artists, including several representatives from the United States: with the next Olympic Games taking place in Los Angeles in 2028, this program was conceived as a symbolic handover between the two countries.
So who did we get to hear at this closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games? Here's the playlist from this artistic and sporting evening.
