Tuileries Gardens, Paris
2024
Aerophile designed, manufactured and operated the balloon-vessel that lifted the flame of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games into the Paris sky every evening from the Tuileries Gardens. Building on its popular success during the Olympics, this balloon-vasque will return to the Tuileries every summer for 3 months in 2025, 2026 and 2027, operated by Aerophile.
The Olympic cauldron was created in collaboration with its designer, Mathieu Lehanneur, EDF (100% electric flame), Atelier blam and Belle environnement.
