This is one of the most charming carrousels in Paris. The view's not bad either.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Hi Virginia,
I love the wonderful photograph, the Eiffel tower in the background makes for such a fun place to ride the beautiful old carousel.
Hugs
Carolyn
What a gorgeous shot Virginia, the carrousel looks very elegant and with Le Eiffel in the background as the finishing touch, perfect! I think the M M below would be much more romantic.. like Mirielle et Matheau, together forever!!
My daughter took a lovely shot of this when we were in Paris 2 years ago. Its still one of my favourites. I would love to own a Carousel xxx
This photo is superbe Virginia - colours - composition it puts a smile on my face -just delightful!
All kinds of wonderful, V. And the carrousel is in such beautiful condition. The colours are gorgeous!
great shot to celebrate labor day, hope you will enjoy the day
THIS is wonderful. It is like a fairytale, Paris....Anita
I know just the spot and you have created a perfect vision of both the carrousel and our beloved TE.
It would be fun to ride the carrousel horses and come around and around, again and again to view the Eiffel Tower view! Did you ride the carrousel, V?!
Excellent, Virginia. If you keep shooting pictures, one of these days you are going to be pretty good!
This is a truly beautiful photo. I wish I were there!
What a lovely shot with the tower behind it! I would love to ride this!!
I like the view!! :)
Can't remember if this is one of the carousels I rode.
Excelent picture. Sharp and vivid colors.
Love the Eiffel tower on the background.
Looks really wonderful.
Haa, to be young again, and to be allowed to climb on such a carroussel, and to enjoy a tour or two...
I knew Genie would love this shot -- two of her favorite Paris elements! Very nice perspective, Virginia!
When we were living in Paris, and then in Issy les Moulineaux, we used to take the girls there, we all loved that carousel, and you are so right about the view, what's not to like about having the Eiffel Tower hanging around for a backdrop... When I was living in Paris as a student years ago, the window of my "chambre de bonne" framed the tower, could see it by all the different lights... that was heaven.
And would love to see you in January if you will be here then...
I love this carousel,too! And the one at the foot of the Sacre-Coeur is perfect for photos like this as well.
Beautiful!
Looks like we were on the same page again, well pretty close anyway. Checkout my Sept 5th post when you get a chance. :)
I would LOVE to paint this photo!!! Please say OUI!
