The vasque de Paris 2024 was set to resume its daily flights on June 21, 2026 at the Jardin des Tuileries, but the show has still not taken place. The reason isn’t the heatwave, as one might think, but the wind: yes, even with the scorching temperatures, Sunday and Monday evenings the weather conditions exceeded the threshold allowed to ensure its ascent could be carried out safely.
The Paris 2024 basin makes its return this summer at the Tuileries Garden — here’s what you need to know.
It's become a tradition: this summer, from June 21 to September 14, 2026, come and admire the Paris 2026 basin in the Tuileries Garden for free. [Read more]
This Tuesday, June 23, the official Vasque site reported in the early afternoon a probable takeoff at 10:30 p.m.. The confirmation remains subject to weather conditions. As every day, readers are advised to check the information on vasqueparis2024.fr, then recheck around 7 p.m., as the announcement could still change before the evening.
Based in the heart of the grand basin in the Tuileries, the fountain can be approached free of charge during the day. Its ascent, also free, can be observed from the garden or its surroundings depending on access and crowd levels. If the wind finally calms down, this Tuesday, June 23, should therefore mark the start of the season’s first launch for this emblem of the Paris 2024 Games, eagerly anticipated by many onlookers in the Paris sky.
