The president of the Organizing Committee of the Paralympic Games, Tony Estanguet, handed the flag to the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, who in turn placed it in the hands of the president of the International Paralympic Committee, Andrew Parsons.

Finally, the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, received the banner that represents the continuity of the games in four years in the cosmopolitan American city.

The culture of the northern country was the protagonist in the final moments of a spectacle battered by rain.

The Paralympic flame was extinguished in the Tuileries Garden, where the cauldron was located, by Paris 2024 boccia champion Aurélie Aubert (France).

The parade of athletes, techno music, highlights of the 12-day event and French culture were the highlights of the evening.

Speaking at the event, Parsons called the closing games the most spectacular of all times.
