Jours de fêtes au Grand Palais


(click on picture to enlarge)
I am back in Paris and ready to show more picture of the illuminated Paris. Here is what is happening in the Grand Palais located on the Champs Elysées. For the Holiday period they have put fairground attractions inside the great hall and among these attractions you can see the big wheel (I had a tour in it!). The place is beautifully decorated and it is a really great idea for the season. You can see more of the Grand Palais on their website.

What a fantastic indoor ferris wheel! Lovely glow inside! Did the closing of the Eurostar chunnel train affect your trip to London?

Hi Leif Hagen ! No I was not affected by the tunnel shut down since I took the plane. Lucky !

It's hard to imagine all of this being indoors! Thanks for getting the photo for "us".

How GRAND!!! Oh I'm dying to get inside this place. Think the fair will still be there for a few more weeks? This is amazing Laurent. Merci. I will email you when we arrive!

I do hope that you weren't stuck in the Tunnel :-(

I am just loving all your posts with the fantastic Parisian decorations...

Beautiful decorations on the roundabout too, so pretty.

I was in the Alsace back in November for a week, staying with friends..so wonderful, we were very lucky to see the markets just happening, before we had to come home.
