00:00We are very happy, it was a very beautiful ceremony that looked exactly like what we dreamed of.
00:10We have been working hard for years to honor France, the Olympic Games, the athletes.
00:17We wanted to offer a completely new ceremony, a first in history outside a stadium on the Seine.
00:24A ceremony with a lot of audacity, with a lot of messages, with beautiful surprises,
00:30whether it's in music, whether it's in the light, whether it's on the VASC and the honor of the athletes.
00:36So yes, I am very happy, I would really like to congratulate all the teams that worked,
00:42because it was an incredible team that overcame challenges until the last moment with the rain.
00:48The artists fought to put energy, it was beautiful.
00:52We held on well in this moment of difficulty, we held on well until the end.
00:59We are very happy to launch the Paris 2024 Games in this way.
01:03We have to take our risk to offer the most beautiful ceremony.
01:10A ceremony in the stadium can be very beautiful too.
01:14We wanted to do a ceremony outside a stadium to honor Paris.
01:19We saw this Eiffel Tower in particular, as we had never seen it before.
01:24It was important for us to rely on this city of Paris, which makes the whole world dream,
01:30and which was very beautiful tonight.
