Celine Dion departed from Paris shortly after her performance at the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, which captivated the media and millions of viewers.
With a photo of herself looking at the streets of the City of Light from her hotel, she thanked the organizers and everyone who contributed to her significant musical comeback, following a four-year hiatus due to health issues.
“Wow, what a night. Thank you to everyone in Paris, from the Olympics and Dior, who helped make this dream come true. And now, it’s already time to leave! I’ll miss you, Paris!

Celine Dion’s performance was one of the most emotional moments of the evening, with the 56-year-old giving chills with her voice, which the world had missed for nearly four years.
The great star, who is battling health issues and Stiff-Person Syndrome, accepted the French invitation to enchant with the song “L’Hymne à l’amour” by Edith Piaf—and not “La vie en rose” as reported by international agencies—from the Eiffel Tower, closing this historic evening in the best way possible.
The internet flooded with comments admiring the great star, most of which mentioned how much she has been missed from music.
“Celine Dion opens the Olympic Games singing under the Eiffel Tower, life is complete,” someone wrote on Twitter (X). Another commented: “We missed you so much, everyone is speechless,” while there were also those who have watched the documentary showcasing her painful health battle.
“What a fighter! If you watched her documentary and now heard her perform at the Olympic Games, I think you’ll agree with me that this is a huge triumph,” they emphasize, among other things.
