When it comes to lighting up the Paralympic Games, the cauldron is still as attractive as ever

As for the future of the flame after the competition, everything remains up in the air. While it will indeed be extinguished once again after the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games at the Stade de France on Sunday, September 8, the ring-cathedral could be kept in Paris, as a legacy of Paris 2024. As early as July 29, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo had expressed the wish to keep it, like the Olympic rings hanging from the Eiffel Tower and the statues of women, which emerged from the Seine during the opening ceremony.
