Ponys, Puppets, and Carousels..........and innocence


Vintage Puppet Theatre at Jardin de Luxembourg.
Performances every Wednesday afternoon and weekends too.
Playground and Pond for sailing toy boats and model yachts.
Clapping hands, climbing feet, and push-offs.



Pony Rides at Jardin des Tuileries, the oldest park in Paris.
Ice Cream stands and trampolines too.


Innocent pastimes. Fine gravel dust and shaded chestnut trees. 


Chilled Brass Domes. Fresh Ice Cream.



Three flavours only, probably more than enough.
Something for the walk home. All ages.



A draped and gilded carousel in Jardin des Tuileries.
A menagerie of rotating ponies, ostriches, cars, and wagons in bright colours. Tea cups too.
There are over twenty-five carousel parks in Paris. All unique.


Music and lights. Simple pleasures. 
Going around and around as the generations before.
The royal toy of Louis XIV.



No glitter, no sparkles, no Britney Spears.
Children dressing like children.
In beautiful classic styles.



Children acting like children.
Polite and well-mannered too.
Enchanting.
