Located on the Place du Martroi in Orléans, the Jules Verne carousel Palace amazes young and old alike. The wooden horses, the balloon, the space rocket, the Nautilus submarine evoke the happy memories of our childhood.

The carousel is open daily from 10 am to 7 pm. The carousel is accessible to children and adults.

Originally the first carousels were designed around real animals tied at the end of a rope and rotating around a stake and then called ring games. A game borrowed from ancient chivalry. At the ring, the rider carried off by the gallop of his horse had to unhook a ring from the point of his spear.

Installé sur la place du Martroi à Orléans, le carrousel Palace Jules Verne émerveille petits et grands. Les chevaux de bois, la montgolfière, la fusée spatiale, le sous-marin Nautilus évoquent les souvenirs heureux de notre enfance.

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

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.
