"This carousel is ideally placed at the entrance to the Yitzhak-Rabin Garden. It is a Carrousel Michel-Ange from the Maison Camors which dates from 1927, it has a Limonaire Freres (Organ of barbarism).

Passersby, and especially children, linger to contemplate the merry-go-round and already yearn to ride the horses. For seniors, this merry-go-round brings back distant memories.

The carousel is open every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The carousel is accessible to children.

Originally the first carousels were designed around real animals tied to the end of a rope and rotating around a stake and were then called ring games. A game borrowed from ancient chivalry. At the ring, the rider carried away by the gallop of his mount had to pick up a ring from the tip of his spear."

"Ce carrousel est idéalement placé, à l'entrée du Jardin Yitzhak-Rabin. C'est un Carrousel Michel-Ange de la Maison Camors qui date de 1927, il possède un Limonaire Freres (Orgue de barbarie).

Les passants, et surtout les enfants, s’attardent pour contempler le manège et aspirent déjà à monter sur les chevaux. Pour les aînés, ce manège leur rappelle des souvenirs lointains.

Le manège est ouvert tous les jours 10h00 à 19h00.Le manège est accessible aux enfants.

A l’origine les premiers carrousels ont été conçus autour de vrais animaux attachés au bout d’une corde et tournant autour d’un piquet et s’appelaient alors jeux de bagues. Un jeu emprunté à l’ancienne chevalerie. A la bague, le cavalier emporté par le galop de sa monture devait décrocher un anneau de la pointe de sa lance. "
