More than 31,000 competitors lined up for the 34th edition of the Paris International Marathon on the Champs-Elysées. All along the route, from La Bastille to the quays of the River Seine via the Bois de Boulogne park, almost 250,000 spectators were present to encourage the competitors and enjoy the 80 live music concerts or shows dotted around the streets of the French capital.
