Olympic cauldron to float in Paris skies every summer until the 2028 Games

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the Paris Olympics’ cauldron balloon will float over the city every summer until the 2028 Los Angeles Games, using water and electric light instead of fossil fuels. The cauldron, a 7-meter ring of fire supported by a giant air balloon, will be reinstalled in the Tuileries gardens and will be a lasting legacy of the Paris Games, according to Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo. The cauldron’s return from June 21 to mid-September, marked by Celine Dion’s performance of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’amour,” was celebrated by Macron on TikTok and is expected to draw crowds to the iconic location near the Louvre museum entrance.
