2024 Olympics: See Céline Dion Arrive in Paris Ahead of Her Opening Ceremony Performance

Céline Dion is ready to live la vie en rose.
The legendary singer stepped out in Paris ahead of her performance at the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 26.
Dion—who shared her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in 2022—was greeted by crowds of fans on the streets of the French capital on July 24, even receiving a red rose from one well-wisher.
And now that she's made her dream come true of returning to Paris, the 56-year-old wasted no time in visiting her favorite attractions: She posted photos of herself stopping by the Louvre Museum July 24, including a pic of her admiring the massive "Coronation of Napoleon" painting by Jacques-Louis David.
"Every time I return to Paris," Dion captioned the post on X, "I remember there’s so much beauty and joy still to experience in the world."
The "My Heart Will Go On" artist added, "I love Paris, and I’m so happy to be back! Thank you to our wonderful friends at The Louvre!"
Dion's show at the 2024 Paris Olympics will mark her big return to the stage amid her battle with the rare neurological disorder, which nearly took her life.
"It's not hard to do a show now; it's hard to cancel a show," she shared in her 2024 documentary I Am: Celine Dion. "I'm working hard every day, but I have to admit—it's been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people. I miss them. If I can't run, I'll walk. If I can't walk. I'll crawl. I won't stop."
But the fact that her grand return will be in Paris is extra special, as Dion told Vogue France in April, "My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!"
"Life doesn't give you any answers," she explained at the time. "You just have to live it! I have this illness for some unknown reason. The way I see it, I have two choices. Either I train like an athlete and work super hard, or I switch off and it’s over, I stay at home, listen to my songs, stand in front of my mirror and sing to myself."
That's why, as she put it, "I've chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be."
