The Grande Roue de Paris lit up for the 2010 Christmas and New Year celebrations.
This particularly enormous ferris wheel was originally erected in the Place de la Concorde in Paris to celebrate the coming of the Millennium.
It is a transportable giant ferris wheel and has been traveling around Europe (Antwerp in Belgium, Geleen and Amsterdam in The Netherlands, Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle in the UK) and has even been to Bangkok,Thailand.
You can see and ride it every year during Christmas and New Year celebrations back in its spot at the Place de la Concorde in Paris
Beautiful Pic!!
I was in paris from the 25 oct until 4 nov and i dont find it ?
what happen ?
It’s back there for Christmas and New Year.
Saw the Grand Roue a couple of weeks ago. Seems every city worth its salt must have a wheel these days. I think Paris has the right idea, though. Fun to leave up for holiday celebrations, but I’m glad it isn’t a mark on the landscape all year. (Or, at least, that’s what I would think if I lived in Paris).
Great photo 🙂
A ride on a Christmas Ferris wheel would be a great family tradition to start.
Nice photo Michael.
I really like the angle of the shot with the Christmas tree in the background.
Beautiful photo! 🙂
