My baguette went stale watching this opening it was soo long

[@Leebpascal1]

4hours, like all recent olympic ceremonies

[@helmutstocs7934]

You wehere the ceremonies are held and in the same stadium the competition should also take place in one stadium not two

What a load of rubbish. The worst ever very embarrassing for the french I think.

[@androwaydie4081]

The world is an idiocraty.

[@tedmink7568]

No, Perfoming Imagine in Darkness, A Floating Flame, Laser Eiffel Tower Light Show and An entirely new concept from of a water parade is not embarrasing. Its creative, inventive and mesmerising to see!

That horse rider on Seine was mind blowing

[@bewareowesome]

J'ai trouvé la cérémonie magnifique!
Paris 3st juste la plus belle ville du monde

I saw that horse on the River Clyde last week on my way home from the pub, I haven't had a drink since.
