Jardin d'Acclimatation, Amusement park in Bois de Boulogne, France.
The park extends over 18 hectares with 42 attractions, including a funfair, flying chairs, speed rockets, and an educational farm with 450 animals.
Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie established this recreational destination in 1860, making it the first amusement park in France's capital city.
The attractions follow a 1900s steampunk design influenced by Jules Verne's literature, creating a distinct French technological aesthetic throughout the park.
Visitors can access the park via Les Sablons metro station, with operating hours from 10:00 to 19:00 during summer and 10:00 to 18:00 in winter.
A narrow-gauge train, operating since 1878, transports guests through wooded areas to reach the park entrance every ten minutes.

A small amusement park very nice in the very chic Neuilly. A real pleasure for both kids and adults.
A mini Disneyland at a low price and without the crowds! The entrance fee is very affordable, and tickets need to be purchased for the attractions. Machines are available in the park. I highly recommend it!
