Les Chaises volantes, Rotating carousel ride at Jardin d'Acclimatation, Paris, France
The ride features 32 single chairs and 8 double chairs suspended by metal chains, which rotate and tilt outward during operation.
The attraction has remained largely unchanged since the 1920s when it was first introduced in Europe, with initial designs originating from Germany.
The ride serves as a recurring element in French cinema, appearing in numerous films set in Paris at the Jardin d'Acclimatation.
The carousel operates Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 18:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 19:00, with a minimum height requirement of 120 centimeters.
