Medals
The designs of the medals for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics were revealed on 8 February 2024; as with the Olympic medals, the front of the Paralympic medals features an embedded original piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower in the shape of a hexagon, with the Paris 2024 emblem.

Tickets
On the day of the opening ceremony, 2 million of the 2.8 million tickets available for the games were sold.

 The Games 

 Opening ceremony 
The opening ceremony was held on 28 August 2024 at the Place de la Concorde, the first Paralympic opening ceremony to take place outside of a stadium. The Parade of Nations took place on the Champs-Élysées starting at the Arc de Triomphe and ending at Place de la Concorde.

 Sports 
The programme for the 2024 Summer Paralympics was announced in January 2019, with no changes to the 22 sports from the 2020 Summer Paralympics.

The IPC considered bids for golf, karate, para dance sport, and powerchair football to be added to the Paralympic programme as new sports. Bids were also made for CP football (football 7-a-side) and sailing—the two sports that had been dropped for 2020—to be reinstated. While CP football was selected for consideration by the IPC, it was rejected due to a lack of reach in women's participation.
