You'll stop at a local park, giving your children another chance to play at a second playground while parents can relax and catch a much-needed break. The journey continues into the Abbesses district, where you’ll find the beautiful "I Love You Wall," the perfect spot for a family photo. Here, the children will get to take their final exhilarating spin on the Abbesses Carrousel. Please note for the carousel in Abbesses Square, the maximum age to ride is 7 years old.
