My kids born in USA from French parents love this carousel. Typical«modern» French carousel with cars, moving plane, helicopter, space shuttle, truck, etc. My kids love the old-style American carousels with horses, but I suspect they have a preference for the French ones, particularly when you can play the«ponpon» game: grabbing a dangling«ponpon» and winning a free ride. Alain Joly is the friendly owner and operator of the carousel.
