...and I thought he might

jump off the carrousel and 

run away with me

Square du Serment de Koufra

This enclosed carrousel 

resembled a little jewel box

nestled under the trees

(More on this park and its historical 

significance at another time)

The carousel is part of the grand setting of the

One could see Christmas lights from the

Arc de Triomphe to La Grande Roue 

at Place de la Concorde

Carrousel de l'Hôtel de Ville

The double-decked carrousel

at Hôtel de Ville 

is best enjoyed after dark.

This petite fille holds on tightly

as the horses run fast as the wind at night.

Parc de Monceau - le carrousel

Parc de Monceau

On a brisk October day, 

families enjoy the warmth of the sun

while the children play.

This is a beautiful neighborhood park

with a wide path for strollers, scooters,

and joggers.

Montmartre Carrousel

This carousel at the foot of Sacre Coeur

 is beautifully sculpted

with intricate details

The horses appear quite animated

and you can almost hear a whinny

Jardin du Luxembourg - le carrousel

Jardin du Luxembourg

This very old carrousel in Jardin du Luxembourg 

does not have glitter, 

shining lights, or 

polished ponies, but...

you can wield a baton and 

catch a brass ring on each pass

bon weekend

Carrousel Montparnasse

Carrousel Montparnasse

Although this carrousel looks a bit shabby, 

a close inspection reveals that it consists of the original wood horses.  

Most of the carrousels in Paris today have been "updated" 

and the wood replaced with artificial polymers and plastic.  

These horses could do with a bit of paint, but all together look quite good.

A trip to Paris would be so much easier 

on a plane like this...

No crowding, no security, 

and no Air France pilots striking!

Carrousel Jules Verne - Parc de Monceau

Carrousel Jules Verne

This carrousel tells the story of Jules Verne in the rides, 

the architecture, and the art panels.  

It is rather small as Paris carrousels go, 

but the colors make this a focal spot in a beautiful park.

The carrousels of Paris will amaze you.  

This is a unique little carrousel tucked away in Jardin des Plantes,

well-known by the children of Paris.

Hidden in Jardin des Plantes this fanciful, unusual carousel is a delight for all ages.


As you can see from the photo, these are not your ordinary carousel animals,
but, there are enough creatures to satisfy all tastes.

Le Carrousel de la Gare Montparnasse

Carousel at Gare Montparnasse


This (counterclockwise) carousel has the original
wood horses along with some other interesting rides.


I do not know the significance of the turquoise "F" along the crown.

Carrousel de la Tour Eiffel

Eiffel Tower Carousel

There are many Belle Epoque carrousels around Paris.  Each carrousel has unique details setting it apart from the others.  As you can tell from the ceiling of this one, the theme is le cirque.


Wishing you a wonderful weekend and hope that if you are in Paris
you will find a carrousel and take a ride.  You are forever young on a carrousel.



bon weekend
