After the closing ceremony for the Olympic Games, the flame will burn brightly once more during the Paralympic Games. It will be lit in Stoke Mandeville, the birthplace of the Paralympic Games.
While the Olympic Flame will be extinguished at the Olympic Games Closing Ceremony on 11 August 2024, the Paralympic Flame will be lit a few days later in Stoke Mandeville, in order to launch the first Paralympic Flame Relay in the history of the Summer Games.
Then, it will leave the historic birthplace of Paralympic sport, for a four-day journey (25 to 28 August 2024) until arriving in Paris for the lighting of the Paralympic Cauldron.
During the first part of that voyage, the Paralympic Flame will be symbolically passed between 24 English and 24 French athletes in the middle of the Channel Tunnel.
Afterward, when arriving on the French coast at Calais, the Paralympic Flame will multiply into twelve Flames spread around the outskirts of France. It will be carried by no fewer than 1,000 forerunners in around fifty towns (covering 100% of the French regions), in 12 simultaneous relays converging on Paris for the Opening Ceremony on 28 August, which will take place for the first time outside a stadium, in the heart of the capital, from the Champs-Elysées to the Place de la Concorde.
