2024 Summer Paralympics torch relay

The torch relay began with the lighting of the Paralympic Heritage flame in Stoke Mandeville, United Kingdom, on 24 August.

The French leg ended during the opening ceremony when it was used to light the Paralympic cauldron.

The French Olympic Committee commissioned Mathieu Lehanneur (fr) (born 1974),[4][5] to design the cauldron, torch, and ceremonial cauldrons along the torch relay route: Lehanneur developed a concept of having these three items symbolise France's national motto, "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" ("Liberty, equality, fraternity"), and gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively.

"[7] The torch relay cauldrons – 2000 of them – don a wave and ripple design that represents water texture of the River Seine that runs through Paris.

They were made of XCarb by ArcelorMittal, a Paris 2024 Olympics Official Partner.
