A Fair in the Center of Town

If you have wandered near the Louvre or Jardin des Tuileries lately, you will notice an exciting addition on the rue du Rivoli wing, and a rather large one at that! La Fête Foraine is the summer carnival implanted by Le Mairie of Paris for those looking for an entertaining night out with the kids. With over 60 attractions, this fête includes a Ferris wheel, climbing wall, trampolines, merry-go-rounds, games, and sweets like cotton candy, crêpes, gaufres (waffles), beignets, churros (one of the only times you will find these on the streets of Paris!), guimauves (marshmallows), and more.

It is free to go walk through all the attractions, but costs about 2-3€ for each ride.
Through August 21 from 11:00am – 11:45pm Sunday – Thursday, 11:00am-12:45am Fridays & Saturdays
