Paris du haut de la Grande Roue de la Concorde - Cityscapes on Waymarking.com

From the top of the Big Wheel one can see the famous Champs Élysées, l'Arc de Triomphe and the business district la Défense to the west. To the north is the Hôtel de la Marine, La Madeleine and the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur. Les Tuileries and the Louvre Museum are to the east and the Seine River, the Pont de la Concorde, the Palais Bourbon, Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower to the south.

The Grande Roue (60 m high) was built for the millennium celebrations and was supposed to stay at the Place de la Concorde for only one year but due to delays, and controversy it was dismantled only in 2002.

It was re-erected in the United Kingdom in 2003 and 2004, and later in the Netherlands and Bangkok.

The Grande Roue came back in Paris in 2007 and since then, it comes back each year and illuminates the Place de la Concorde for the end of the year festivities. At night it is nicely illuminated in bleu like the Champs-Elysées.

Last season it was open November 19 2010 to February 27 2011, every day from 11:00 to midnight.

Tariff : adult 10€, children 5€.
