Most parks and a lot of metro stations in Paris have merry-go-rounds. Some are old and some are modern. On cold or drizzly weekends, we often walk-up to the merry-go-round at one of the metro stops near our apartment. Its about a 15 min walk there and back and Lucie usually gets 3 turns on the merry-go-round. On particularly cold afternoons, this is the perfect amount of time to be outside.

Every turn, Lucie chooses a different vehicle to ride on. The helicopter is particularly popular since it goes up and down.

As the kids go around, the parents stand along the edge, waving, making faces at their kids, and looking generally silly.
