The Paris Olympic Games ended with a grand ceremony

The procession of the Olympic torch to the stadium was started by Leon Marchand, the four-time French Olympic swimming champion.

After the playing of the French national anthem, the flag bearers of the 206 Olympic delegations marched into the stadium. In fact, by the end of the Olympic Games, every delegation in Paris had not even one athlete left. The flags of this delegation were brought to the stadium by volunteers.
