On Friday, July 26th, French athletes Marie-José Pérec and Teddy Riner lit the Cauldron of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at the end of the Opening Ceremony. Created by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, the Paris 2024 Cauldron, located in the Jardin des Tuileries on the grounds of the Louvre, is a giant ring of “fire” topped by a monumental balloon that takes to the skies over Paris. For the first time in the history of the Games, the Olympic Flame will shine without fuel. The 100% electric flame without fuel is created by use of water and light.
