The Paris 2024 Cauldron returns

Jardin des Tuileries, Place de la Concorde - 75001 Paris
From 21 June to 14 September 2026

The Paris 2024 Games Cauldron will return to the Tuileries Gardens, two years after the event

Two years after the Paris 2024 Games, the cauldron – designed by Mathieu Lehanneur – will once again light up in the Tuileries Gardens. This symbolic return enshrines the legacy of the Games in the Parisian landscape and recalls the values of sport and surpassing oneself. This date coincides with Olympic and Paralympic Day, celebrated in many countries around the world.
The Paris 2024 Cauldron is located in the centre of the big round ornamental pond in the Tuileries Gardens
Due to the exceptionally high temperatures, the outer area around the pool will be closed all day until 27 June. Although the Tuileries Gardens open at 7am every morning, the area around the Cauldron is only accessible from 10am. The flight is subject to weather conditions (check the website)

An ideal panorama, a peaceful atmosphere and the perfect setting for an evening picnic.

📍Avenue des Champs-Élysées

Stand between the Arc de Triomphe and Franklin D. Roosevelt: a magnificent view of the fountain rising above the Tuileries Gardens.

📍Rue de Rivoli

On the Rivoli side, head for the corner with Rue d'Alger for a beautiful side view of the Paris 2024 Cauldron.

📍The square in front of the Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre

From the heights of Montmartre, admire the Cauldron, seen in miniature in the sky, with the rooftops of Paris and the Eiffel Tower sparkling with lights.
