Just a few steps from the Louvre on the bank of the Seine stand the Tuileries Gardens, the most important and oldest French formal gardens in Paris (planted by Catherine de Médicis in the sixteenth century). This prestigious, historical site has over the last decade housed la Fête foraine des Tuileries (the Tuileries Funfair).

Every year people flock to the event - nobility, passers-by, regulars and tourists alike, united by the excitement in their eyes and the candyfloss in their hands, everyone is equal! Tempted to take a lesson in democracy yourself? Go right ahead! Toffee apples, pancakes, waffles, donuts, marshmallows and other sweet treats await you. If the lesson hasn’t yet sunk in, head straight for the numerous fairground rides - they will certainly help your digestion! And if you consider yourself to be a particularly good student, try your chances on the various games of skill on offer, such as pinball, the shooting gallery, fishing for ducks, etc. - try your luck and maybe even win a present to take home with you...
