This little carrousel is new to Parc de Monceau since my visit last April. It is called Carrousel Jules Verne and looks like a slice of the 19th century with its submarine, camel, and camion de pompiers. The setting in this park is perfect, enjoyed by children in neighborhood and by this wandering photographer.
You know that I love to find carrousels and what a treat to see this one where there had been none. Please note that the rotation is counterclockwise.

This carrousel is darling! I can't wait to see it (Parc Monceau being a favorite Parisian park of mine)!
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup les carrousels et celui-ci est beau.
ReplyDeletePasse une belle journée. chère Genie.
Do they all go against the clock?
ReplyDeleteIn a submarine, on horseback, on a camel!
ReplyDeleteWhat better way for children to start traveling?
Les voyages forment la jeunesse...
Wonderful post Mme. Genie.
I love carousels. I feel like they are particularly beautiful in Paris. The colours are divine! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm a poor student ~ I keep forgetting which ones go clockwise and which go counter! I must write it down. But as for this little sweetie, Genie, I love that new carrousels still appear in Paris. I like to imagine it happens after midnight, in the blink of an eye...
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun!
ReplyDeleteI like it when you post photos of carrousels. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteA really nice one Genie . I admit with Andy. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteThe things illustrate perfectly Jules Verne's work, which was all about travels and discovery. I guess children like this carrousel very much!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...but I think most carousels go counter-clockwise.
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to be all that good at finding the hidden carrousels in Paris. TRue, I"ve only strolled through this park once, if I get a chance I'll sniff it out. I think it might be one of my favorites. It's so tiny but I love it!

pretty amazing that new carrousels are still popping up!
ReplyDeleteMais c'est absolument charmant!
ReplyDeleteI love that it has a 'theme' and an exciting adventurous one at that. Jules Verne, very exciting rides on this carousel Genie. I can understand why you were thrilled to find it.
ReplyDeleteAw, how beautiful! I can just see the kids riding on this! So sweet!

Genie, this one is a little treasure, isn't it? Beautiful. Love it, and I adore this park. Have a tiny Monet painting of it in my living room..
ReplyDeleteBises and wishes for a wonderful week,

Genie, you must have quite the photo collection with all the carousels you have already captured in Paris. Do you know if a book has been made about Parisian Carousels? If not, go for it! ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteAnother great find. Rotation noted.
ReplyDeleteIt's so very beautiful. I adore carousels and love to ride on them too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. Love the JV themed cars. :)
ReplyDeleteNice find, Genie! This one's a beauty, and I love the submarine.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your carrousel photos. Thanks for keeping us 'in the know' concerning this new addition at Parc Monceau.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.........I remember the delights of ridding a carrousel as a child. It's heartening to know that they are still being enjoyed in this age of technology.
ReplyDeleteI love that something so beautiful and elaborate is NEW! And that there is a submarine on it!!!! If I were a child I would have to try each seat....
