The Eiffel Tower Carousel

It's easy to miss but hard to skip: the carousel at the end of the Pont d'Iéna. It's pretty by day, and when the lights come on at night it turns truly magical.

The French word for a merry-go-round is carrousel, and Paris has quite a few of them. This one, right in front of the Eiffel Tower, is especially lovely, with the romantic tower and the storybook carousel sharing a single frame.

After taking your photos, cross at the crosswalk and head to the foot of the tower, where we'll pick up the story of how to get in and how the tower is structured.
