Canicule : the Paris 2024 basin inaccessible due to the heat

The Paris 2024 Olympic Cauldron site announced on its own page that, due to the red heatwave alert, daytime access to the hot-air balloon will be impossible until July 14, 2026. As for its takeoff, on July 11, 2026, it remains uncertain. Here’s the update.

With the heat weighing on Paris, even the Vasque of the Games has to slow down. Installed in the jardin des Tuileries, the vasque Paris 2024 announced on its site that it will close to the public during the day from 11 au 14 juillet 2026. Visitors who had planned to approach it or photograph it will therefore have to wait a few more days. This decision comes as the canicule continues to disrupt outings, visits and several events in the capital.

According to the latest information released by the organizers, the Vasque is set to reopen on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. Access will be free, open to all, and no reservation will be required. There will be no need to buy a ticket in advance to visit it once the site reopens.

Note that for this Saturday, July 11, the weather could also throw a wrench into the launch. And for good reason: the take-off remains uncertain due to the forecast winds. When conditions aren’t favorable enough, the Vasque may stay on the ground, even if the area is open to the public. A last-minute decision may be made for safety reasons.

To see her take off, as she lifts off, check the calendar for the schedule:

The Paris 2024 balloon is back at the Tuileries Garden in Paris, from June 21 to September 14, 2026.

Before heading to the Tuileries, it’s smart to check the latest information online. The site’s opening and the unveiling of the Vasque could still be adjusted depending on heat and wind.
