Paris

Quintessentially French, this vintage, 1900s-style carousel is one of the most coveted spots to take a photo of Paris' masterpiece: the Eiffel Tower. The playfulness of the circling wooden horses, baroque gold and red accents and charming painted panels showing classic French monuments all add to the magic of the city's greatest attraction. Hop on a horse and take a spin on the carousel as you're whisked around and around, staring up at the staggering wrought iron landmark.
