Je tiens à signaler que je suis profondément choqué que la cérémonie d’ouverture se soit ainsi ouvertement moquée du banquet final du village gaulois d’Astérix. Philippe Katerine était particulièrement peu ressemblant en sanglier.

4 ans après sa dernière performance sur scène, voici la sublime performance de Céline Dion qui reprend "L'hymne à l'amour" d'Edith Piaf.

I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris @Olympics 2024 this year. I am also humbled to be asked by the Olympics organizing committee to sing such a special French song—a song to honor the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre. This song was sung by Zizi Jeanmaire, born in Paris a French ballerina, she famously sang “Mon Truc en Plumes” in 1961. The title means “My Thing with Feathers.” And this is not the first time we’ve crossed paths. Zizi starred in Cole Porter’s musical “Anything Goes” which was my first jazz release. Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music—I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth—Paris. We rented pom poms from Le Lido archive—a real French cabaret theater. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally molted feathers. I studied French choreography that put a modern twist on a French classic. I rehearsed tirelessly to study a joyful French dance, brushing up on some old skills—I bet you didn’t know I used to dance at a 60’s French party on the lower east side when I was first starting out! I hope you love this performance as much as I do. And to everyone in France, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country to sing in honor of you—it’s a gift I’ll never forget! Congratulations to all the athletes who are competing in this year’s Olympic Games! It is my supreme honor to sing for you and cheer you on!! Watching the Olympic Games always makes me cry! Your talent is unimaginable. Let the games begin!

yesterday France did what it does best:
during 4 hours, it provocatively opened a window into the future
in France this is called “l’exception culturelle française” (it means exception not exceptional)
some people find it visionary and inspiring
some find it arrogant or shocking
France has never been about one or the other
this country has always been about opening new frontiers, not by opening new doors but by breaking walls others tried to establish
yesterday was an obvious example of this culture, so proud of this country
When people bring you a problem, it's not always a sign that they blame you. It’s often a signal that they trust you.
Seeking support is an expression of vulnerability. It shows that they count on you to care and value your help.
It's a compliment to be chosen as a confidant.
