The cauldron's popularity continues unabated. A year after the Games, it returned to the Tuileries Gardens from June 21 to September 14, and the public was there: more than 2,5 million visitors were welcomed on site, " an average of 39.000 people per day ", underlines the prefecture of Île-de-France. " Un peak of 60.000 visitors was recorded on July 26 to celebrate the first anniversary of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. »

The basin could have risen during 80% of evenings during this summer. Seventeen flights had to be canceled due to the weather. The structure has been dismantled and will be reinstalled next summer. The cauldron extends the magic of the Games and illustrates a work that is at once contemporary, heritage and popular. ", underlines the press release published Thursday.
