it’s electric. The ring at the base of the balloon houses 40 LED lights which illuminate a cloud of water vapour produced by 200 high-pressure misting nozzles to give the flickering and smoke effect of real flames. During the day it will be at ground level in the Tuilleries Gardens and night raised 30 metres. Pretty impressive and nice nod to the Montgolfier brothers whose hot air balloon design first took flight in the same location.
