I've counted three: One at the Eiffel Tower, one at the Louvre and one at the Hotel de Ville. Any others? I don't think the French invented them, but they certainly have perfected them -- like the amusement park equivalent of the macaron!
Yes, you are right, Paris is full of carousels... I've got a picture of my daughter riding exactly on this one! Perhaps I can find a reason to post it. Sabine x
Lovely photo! Carousels are the best! There's a beautiful old carousel in Griffith Park in L.A. If you haven't been there already, it's very much worth seeing!
how wonderful! i cant believe your iphone takes such wonderful photos! mine sure doesnt. must be the photographer not the phone!!! cant wait to keep hearing more:) i totally heart your blog ps. loves! britt brittnjacob.blogspot.com
Oui, c'est tres magnifique! Mais je prefere le carrousel de Montmartre, dans la basilique du Sacre-Coeur. Et excusez-moi pour ma reponse, mais je ne parle pas anglais tres bien... Bon voyage! I hope you travel well home.
Dear Muse, Just wanted to share this lovely carrousel that is located in Montpellier, France. I was there last summer and could not resist taking a spin! http://henriloves.blogspot.com/2009/08/montpellier-france.html, Love, Henri

Yes! That's the perfect description! Loving all of your posts, thank you.
Carousels are wonderfully fun. I remember when I took the children when young. I would personally love to owm a wonderful antique carousel horse!

sucha pretty picture! love carousels <3
i was going to suggest the Montmartre one too
You have one "au jardin des Halles" (1er arrondissement). Enjoy your stay !
Yes the "Manege" is still alive in Paris. But they move about. The one at HDV is on some of the google streetviews of the area, not on others.
