200% Deposit Bonus up to €3,000 180% First Deposit Bonus up to $20,000As has been the case since 2008, French athletes at the Paralympic Games will receive the same prize money as their Olympian counterparts if they win a medal. €80,000 for a gold medal, €40,000 for silver and €20,000 for bronze.

For these Paralympic Games at home, CPSF President Marie-Amélie Le Fur has set the tone: France wants to enter the top eight in the medal rankings. To do this, it will have to double the number of titles from Tokyo (11 gold medals). In 2021, the French delegation finished 14th.
Although the route is less important and less difficult to secure than for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the security arrangements set up by the Ministry of the Interior remains large-scale, with 15,000 police forces deployed around the Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries Gardens and the Avenue des Champs-Elysées.
More than 4,400 athletes will parade on the Champs Elysées this Wednesday evening, divided into 182 different delegations. The French delegation, led by flag bearers Alexis Hanquinquant and Nantenin Keita, will include 240 athletes.
Thomas Jolly is once again at the helm for the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games, and the latter has chosen to surround himself with the Swedish dancer Alexander Ekman, who has already collaborated with the Paris Opera, and has staged more than 50 ballets around the world.
As with the Olympic Games, Tony Estanguet is banking heavily on the opening ceremony to boost the momentum of the Paralympic Games. “To shine a light on the exploits of Paralympic athletes, the values they embody and the emotions they make us experience, Paris 2024 wanted to offer them an unprecedented window of exposure by organizing the first Paralympic Games opening ceremony outside a stadium.”
Hello everyone and welcome to the Paralympic Games opening ceremony. Meet at 8pm on the Champs-Elysées for the parade of 6,000 athletes heading towards Place de la Concorde, and all day on the L'Internaute website for the latest information.
