Anne Hidalgo has said previously that she hopes to install them permanently at the Porte de la Chapelle district in northern Paris in the 18th arrondissement.

Hidalgo announced plans to keep them in place after the conclusion of the Games, noting that instead it would be five lighter rings of the same size because the current ones are "too heavy" to hold out for a long time.
