Whoever is in charge of keeping Paris beautiful should be given a raise. Not only has this person found away to put the most gorgeous parks in the middle of a cement jungle, but he or she has made the entire city perfect for people of any age. In so doing, there has been no compensation of beauty to make the city tolerable for children. Every park has a bunch of boring statues and flowers for mom and dad, and a fenced-off part with the most exciting of play things for the children. This is a carousel that I discovered in the middle of what seemed like the Haitian Ghetto on my way to the Basillica of the Sacre Coeur (which you'll be hearing A LOT about later). These carousels are beautiful and just pop up in the middle of nowhere, even at metro stations. What's more, they don't even play obnoxious music.
