Grande roue des Tuileries, Ferris wheel in Tuileries Garden, France.
The Grande roue des Tuileries reaches 60 meters high and provides views over central Paris, the Seine River, and the Louvre Museum.
Marcel Campion introduced the first version of this Ferris wheel in December 1985, followed by a taller structure celebrating Paris's fair tradition in 2000.
The Ferris wheel forms an integral part of the Fête des Tuileries, enhancing seasonal celebrations with rides and entertainment activities in central Paris.
The Grande roue operates daily from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., with tickets priced at 15 euros for those seeking panoramic views of Paris.
After temporary relocation during the Olympic Games, the Ferris wheel returns to its original position on October 18, 2024, reconnecting with its central location.

Observation wheels allow the exploration of cities and their surroundings from heights ranging from 25 to 250 meters. These steel structures rotate slowly, giving visitors time to observe monuments, watercourses, and neighborhoods spread at their feet. In London, the London Eye looms over the Thames at 135 meters, while in Singapore, the Singapore Flyer stands at 165 meters with views reaching into Malaysia and Indonesia. In Las Vegas, the High Roller rises 168 meters above the lit-up Strip. Each wheel has its unique technical and historical features. The Tianjin Eye in China is integrated into the Yongle Bridge structure above the Hai River. In Vienna, the Wiener Riesenrad in Prater dates from 1897 and retains its original 15 wooden cabins. These attractions offer an alternative way to see cities, taking height for a rotation duration typically between 15 and 30 minutes.
