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.

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.

Carrousel Jules Verne

There are carousels at every turn in Paris, and I am not even sure how many.  For me there are about five favorites but I have a list of ones yet to visit.  

Carrousel Jules Verne is a relatively new addition to Parc de Monceau (autumn 2011).  The colorful, petite merry-go-round is a highlight for the children of the neighborhood.  On weekends every ride is taken, and during the week the mamans and nannies gather with the young children.

This fascinating carousel in Parc de Monceau seems a bit lonely

As dawn gives way to the bright spring sky,

the animals of the carrousel whispered to be set free

Parc Monceau - le carrousel

The new and delightful carrousel at Parc Monceau has a varied choice of rides...

I was a bit partial to this little yellow plane, a sturdy vintage model,

but it would have been a bit too small for me.

Carrousel Jules-Verne -- Parc de Monceau

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.
