All year long you can find some merry-go-rounds in public squares and, on Wednesday afternoons when many elementary schools are closed, you’ll see parents waiting while their young kids ride them. But at the Christmas season, lots more of them popped up all over the city, a holiday/seasonal treat. The first one pictured was set up in my neighborhood, just in front of the Mairie for the 11th arrondissement, just at the start of the two week Christmas holiday, the other was set up in front of the Hotel de Ville (the main city hall) in Paris. During my week in the south of France, I found the same thing in the city of St Raphael, with several beside the Mediterranean beaches. And now that it's warming up here slightly, the tents surrounding them are being taken down. Just small seasonal changes!
