The Weekend in Black and White


There are many, many carrousels (in French, manèges)

to be found all around Paris.  This is one of
the most charming, I think—the dodo manège, with
fanciful creatures to ride (a gorilla, an ostrich, a panda) as 
well as some that are extinct (a dodo, a triceratops)
 It's located near the northeast corner of the Jardin des Plantes.

  2. Très joli manège. C'est assez rare d'en voir avec de tels animaux. Bon week-end.
