US EditionParis' iconic cauldron from the Olympic Games returns to light up summer nights
- A giant helium balloon called the Paris Cauldron rose above the Tuileries Garden in Paris on June 19, 2025, marking its return as a summer attraction.
- President Emmanuel Macron decided to revive the balloon to maintain the Olympic spirit and extend the 2024 Games' legacy by flying it each summer evening until September 14 for multiple years.
- The balloon, originally tethered with an electric fire cauldron during the 2024 Olympics, lost its Olympic branding due to reuse rules and will lift off daily during France’s Fete de la Musique street festival and summer nights.
- The upgraded Paris Cauldron uses 6,200 cubic meters of helium to lift about three tonnes and features a reinforced light-and-mist system to control ascent and descent, with an expected 300-day operational span, ten times longer than the original.
- Organizers aim to attract tens of thousands of visitors repeatedly each summer, ensuring the balloon remains a prominent landmark and symbol of Olympic heritage in Paris through the coming years.
