The Mayor of Paris maintains that the Olympic rings will continue to adorn the Eiffel Tower.
Hidalgo mentioned they'd swap the rings out swiftly with lighter, identical-sized replacements. Additionally, she intends to erect statues of ten significant French historical figures who rose from the Seine during the Summer Games' inaugural ceremony on Rue de la Chapelle.
The mayor reiterated her hope that the Olympic torch would stay in the Paris Tuileries Gardens. Nevertheless, the ultimate call belongs to President Emmanuel Macron, as the land is under the state's control.
The Olympics have been over for almost three weeks now. At the moment, the Paralympics are ongoing in the French capital. Hidalgo shared her delight, stating that the French have once again "developed a crush on Paris" due to the Summer Games. "Paris will never be the same again."
The Eiffel Tower, an iconic symbol of Paris, shone brightly throughout the Summer Games, attracting millions of visitors. After the Paralympics, tourists are expected to continue flocking to Rue de la Chapelle to see the newly erected statues of significant French historical figures.
