The Paris Olympics opening ceremony was a dazzling spectacle that showcased France's rich history and cultural diversity.
Transforming the iconic Seine river into an athlete's parade route, the event was a bold and unforgettable opening to the Games.
A particularly noteworthy moment occurred during the segment honouring prominent French women. Among the six languages chosen to highlight their contributions, Hindi was included, a testament to the deep cultural and diplomatic ties between India and France.
