Christine and the Queens was tasked with performing at the Opening Ceremonies for the 2024 Paralympics in Paris, and the French star stole the show with his performance. The event also featured performances from Chilly Gonzales, Myd, and Sébastien Tellier.

Christine offered up stunning renditions of Édith Piaf’s “Non, je ne regrette rien” and Patrick Hernandez’s “Born to Be Alive.”

Christine and the Queens both opened and closed the ceremony at the Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Elysées in Paris.
