Fête des Tuileries – Paris Funfair

It's like the fairgrounds of your childhood, with trampolines, bumper cars & cotton candy. The petit fairground fills a corner of the Jardin des Tuileries, ending at the edge of Place de la Concorde. There are plenty of scary rides, fun games and lots of pop-up restaurants serving grilled fast French food. A great place to visit if you're traveling with small children, but you're likely to find us there as well.

Centered on art installations in public spaces and historic Parisian museums, the free event attracts millions of art lovers.

The success of Nuit Blanche has inspired other cities in Europe and around the globe to organize their own White Night based on the Paris model. From Brussels to Kyoto, Melbourne to Taipei, thirty-five cities now offer a free museum night.
