夏季残奥会在巴黎开幕

今天，夏季残奥会在巴黎开幕。来自世界各地的4000多名运动员将齐聚法国首都，参加22个运动项目、549个不同赛事的角逐。作为首次举办夏季残奥会的城市，巴黎为开幕式准备了特别的节目。来自184个国家的代表团将沿着著名的香榭丽舍大街游行至协和广场，而不是进入体育场。首届正式残奥会于1960年在罗马举行。23个国家参加了比赛，角逐包括轮椅篮球和残疾人田径在内的8个项目。

今天的图片带我们来到巴黎的著名景点：蒙马特街区的圣心大教堂。这座教堂建成于1914年，矗立在巴黎最高点之一的顶端。从这里可以俯瞰整个城市，埃菲尔铁塔、巴黎圣母院、先贤祠等美景尽收眼底。如果你来巴黎是为了观看残奥会，那么这里是领略主办城市美景的绝佳地点。

Paralympic Games begin in Paris

The Summer Paralympic Games get underway in Paris today. Over 4,000 athletes with a range of disabilities from all around the world will meet in the French capital to compete across 549 different events. For its first time hosting the Summer Paralympics, the city has got something special in store for the opening ceremony. Delegations from 184 nations will parade down the iconic Champs-Élysées to the Place de la Concorde, rather than entering a stadium. The first official Paralympic Games were held in Rome in 1960. Twenty-three nations took part, competing in eight sports, including wheelchair basketball and Para athletics.

Today's image takes us to an icon of Parisian life: the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in the Montmartre neighborhood. The church, which was completed in 1914, stands at the top of one of the highest points in Paris. It offers impressive views over the city, taking in the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Panthéon, and much more. If you're in Paris to enjoy the Paralympics, it's the perfect spot to soak up the beauty of the host city.
