It was a touching moment when two previous French Olympic medalists, Teddy Riner and Marie-Jose Perec took the flame from the oldest surviving French Olympian Charles Coste before lighting the cauldron. The cauldron is in fact a hot air balloon lit by the Olympic flame flying above the Touilleres in the center of Paris. That is the site of the first balloon flight roughly two hundred and fifty years ago. It should be noted since this is a cycling blog, Coste is a French cyclist.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
