The Paris 2024 Olympic Games vasque

The cauldron can still be seen in the Jardin des Tuileries. But it's also possible to see the Olympic balloon from other spots...

The balloon takes off every evening, offering an aerial spectacle at sunset. The exact time may vary according to weather and wind conditions in the capital, so patience is required. But it's well worth the wait.

For those who don't have a ticket, the Olympic flame, and especially its hot-air balloon, can still be seen from afar in and around the Tuileries gardens, even without one!

Now's the time to get there for an unforgettable moment marking the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

To get there, take metro line 7 to Pont Marie, direction La Courneuve-8-Mai-1945. Get off at Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre. Walk 10 minutes and you're there !
