The carousel in Parc Monceau in Paris is an all time favorite. Maybe because it references my childhood literary favorites. The Nautilus Submarine is from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The plane from Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. Regardless it brings a bit of joy to the heart to see children play and at Parc Monceau some of the little girls do so in charming summer dresses.
