Au Paradis des enfants

Au Paradis des enfants is a carousel in Courseulles-sur-Mer featuring colorful wooden horses and riders under a permanent roof. The circular structure offers different stations suited to various ages, all sheltered from outside weather.

The carousel was founded by Eric Tabaud and grew into a major facility that transformed the Place de Gaulle area. The addition of a roof structure enabled year-round operations, setting it apart from typical fairground rides.

The carousel serves as a gathering place where families come together and children enjoy traditional rides. The covered setting makes it a social spot that welcomes visitors regardless of the season.

The location is easy to reach on foot since the carousel sits in the central area of town. The roof protection means rain or sun will not interrupt your visit or rides.

This carousel was among the first roofed installations of its kind, proving that rides could operate without relying on sunny weather. The combination of classic wooden horses with modern roof protection represented an innovative approach to fairground entertainment at the time.
