The pledge was made at a Team France launch event at the La Villette Great Hall in the French capital, which saw 30 members of the country's squad for the Rio 2016 Paralympics unveiled.

The country’s flagbearer and wheelchair tennis star Michael Jeremiasz, Beijing 2008 F46 long jump gold medallist Arnaud Assoumani and Ryhad Sallem, who will participate in wheelchair rugby, were among those present with Rio now under 50 days away.

Paris 2024 claim the Rio 2016 Paralympics will have the most extensive television coverage of any Games in history across France, with 100 hours of live broadcasting footage due to be shown on public broadcaster France Télévision.

Organisers say this proves the desire of the French population to watch Paralmypic sport and grow the Movement in the country.

“The appetite for Paralympic sport in France has grown exponentially in recent years and it is fantastic that 100 hours of live action from the Games - a national record - will be broadcast to homes across the country,” said Emmanuelle Assmann, French Paralympic Committee President.

“Bringing the Olympic and Paralympic Games to Paris would have a huge positive impact on the lives of people with an impairment in the city and across France.

“The Games would open up so many more opportunities for people of all ages to get involved in Para-sport and we are committed to using the Games as a catalyst to improve facilities and enhance further the positive public perceptions and attitudes towards disability.”

To fulfil their vow of further enhancing public perceptions and attitudes towards disability, and to provide the optimal environment for Paralympians, Paris 2024 say they have worked in close collaboration with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) since the start of the bid process.

The bid team have already visited the IPC’s headquarters in Bonn to present their concept and receive feedback, while a delegation are set to be part of a observer programme during Rio 2016 to view the legacies a Games can bring to a host city.

“Since the very beginning of our bid we have made clear our commitment to deliver a Paris 2024 Paralympic Games that will be a fantastic celebration of world class sport in an amazing setting,” said Paris 2024 co-chairman, Bernard Lapasset.

“Our aim is to make use of the unique opportunity to create a true legacy for people with an impairment by increasing accessibility, improving facilities and growing further the Paralympic Movement, not just here in France, but across the world.”

The La Villette Great Hall is currently the proposed site for Paralympic powerlifting under Paris 2024’s bid plan.

It lies close to Zenith Paris, which would be used for judo and taekwondo at the Paralympic Games, while a live site for fans would be located nearby.

Budapest, Rome and Los Angeles are also bidding for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with the latter having claimed earlier this month that they would plan the “most successful Paralympics ever”.

The International Olympic Committee is due elect its chosen host at its Session in Lima in September 2017.
