Paris Olympics' metal horse goes on tour around France (and Germany)
Briefly

The Paris Olympic Games featured a remarkable mechanical horse named Zeus, which galloped six kilometers down the Seine during the Opening Ceremony. This spectacle represented Sequana, the goddess venerated by ancient Gaulish tribes, rather than biblical references as some speculated. Following the event, Zeus will travel across France, making stops in major cities like Montpellier, Lyon, and Marseille, while showcasing cultural heritage. The journey, starting March 11, will include an educational aspect with the accompanying Science Lab exhibition, designed to engage audiences with the history and art behind Zeus.
The mechanical horse named Zeus, representing the goddess Sequana, will travel through France, engaging audiences with its artistic representation at various heritage sites.
The eerie yet awe-inspiring spectacle of Zeus during the Paris Olympic Games was not a biblical reference but a homage to pre-Roman Gaul tradition.
After the Olympic opening ceremony, Zeus, the 6km galloping horse, will tour France, including stops at Montpellier, Lyon, and Marseille, promoting culture and history.
Accompanied by the Science Lab exhibition, Zeus will educate and entertain as it travels, bridging the past with contemporary artistic expressions across the country.
