Film buffs head to different locations all over Paris, from the Butte de Montmartre in the north to the Parc de Choisy in the south, to watch everything from nostalgic 1940s classics to modern masterpieces.
The unifying theme is place - all the films are set in Paris; some are even screened in the district where they were filmed. Each outdoor venue has the capacity for an audience of 300-500 people.

Fete des Tuileries

20 august 2006

The annual Fair held in the Tuileries Garden.

The Fair is located on the terrace of the Tuileries. If you get off at the Tuileries metro, you take just a few steps to enter the fair. Entry is free, but the rides are a bit expensive...

The piece de resistance at the Fair is the Ferris Wheel. You will get a wonderful views of Paris and a romantic moment, we love to go there.

There are many other traditional fair rides... bumper cars, a big slide, lots of games of chance and one really crazy ride called the Ejection... a bungee swing that seems to fly into the air like a ball attached to a rubber band. Then spend time at the Louvre and take time to have fun on the Ferris Wheel. The Fair is open until August 20.

Join the dance!
