Flame-free Olympic cauldron becomes hot ticket at Paris Games

Paris’s newest tourist attraction and one of the highlights of Friday’s Opening Ceremony, the Olympic cauldron tethered to a hot-air balloon in the Tuileries garden has become one of the hottest tickets at the 2024 Games. Free visits to see the environmentally friendly, flame-free ring of fire – 10,000 a day – are now booked up until the end of the Games, with organisers promising to add more slots. Paris authorities are mulling making the cauldron a permanent fixture in the city.
