"Nobody wants these Games to come to an end," Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet said.
Estanguet said the games had created a "historic summer" and urged spectators and viewers not to forget "this summer when France was happy."
The Olympic cauldron, which was scheduled to be lifted up by a hot-air balloon from the Jardins des Tuileries near the Louvre Museum, was grounded due to the rain.
The Paralympics took place in mainly full stadiums, beating previous fears about ticket sales.
