Paris is set to host a grand parade on the Champs-Elysées this Saturday to honor French athletes and volunteers, marking the end of an exceptional summer.

The event will feature a parade of 300 athletes, including stars like Antoine Dupont and Teddy Riner, followed by a concert around the Arc de Triomphe.

This celebration comes as President Emmanuel Macron announces plans for an annual "National Sports Day" on September 14, inspired by the success of the recent Olympics.

Macron also supports keeping the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower until 2028 and proposes a new decorative order for those involved in the Games.

The parade and concert are expected to draw thousands, with free tickets quickly snapped up, highlighting the nation's enthusiasm for sports and community spirit.
