Twelve Paralympic flames
Unlike the Olympic flame, several Paralympic flames can burn simultaneously, a unique feature brought by the Paralympic movement. Once arrived in Calais, the flame will divide into 12 Flames which will be lit in different towns in France.
For 4 days, from August 25 to 28, 2024, the 12 flames will each take their own path, and will reunite in Paris. They will meet residents from all regions of France to call on them to mobilize by relaying a message full of enthusiasm: “The Games are back!”.
