The metal horse at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games
His name is ‘Zeus’ and you all know him. The metal horse that galloped down the Seine during the Olympic ceremony will be on display at the Hôtel de Ville until 08 September 2024.
It was the real highlight of the show (ex-aequo with Céline Dion), keeping us on the edge of our seats right up to the final moments.
‘Zeus’, the metal horse that galloped down the Seine carrying the rider with the Olympic flag during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on 27 July, will now be visible to the general public.
Whether you attended the ceremony or saw it on television, you will be able to (re)discover this unique horse, which will be on display at the Hôtel de Ville until 08 September 2024.
The aim of this initiative is to enable ‘everyone to get up close and personal with an iconic symbol of the Games’.
To perpetuate the Olympic spirit, Anne Hidalgo has also raised the possibility of keeping the horse to make it a permanent and essential Parisian object.
