Carrousel du Pont de la Guillotière, Historic carousel on Place Antonin Jutard, Lyon, France
The Carrousel du Pont de la Guillotière features various animal figures, including a giraffe, horse, ostrich, lion, tiger, bear, and monkey, plus a train and hot air balloon.
The carousel has been a fixture on the left bank of the Rhône river for more than 15 years, becoming an integral part of the neighborhood's recreational landscape.
The carousel, also known as Jules Verne Carousel, plays circus music and illuminates the square with its colorful lights, creating a gathering point for local families.
The carousel operates from Monday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM, with tickets costing 1 euro per ride for children under 12 years old.
In July 2019, the carousel suffered damage estimated at 14,000 euros during celebrations following an Algerian football team victory, leading to increased security measures.
