Like each year, Paris is offering many activities to entertain young and older visitors (and Parisians as well ! ).

The youngest ones can enjoy the many merry-go-rounds of which 20 are free December 17th, 2011 – January 1st, 2012.

You can see where they are located on this map (thanks to Hotel Paris Rive Gauche blog who set up this map).

So leave your stroller on the side and just admire your child having fun turning around !
