Where do we buy ride tickets?

At each ride. Every attraction has its own ticket booth on site, so you pay ride by ride.

Is there shade on hot afternoons?

The garden's tree-lined paths give some shade, but most rides sit in the sun. Evenings are cooler, and the fair stays open late.

When are next summer's dates out?

The fair runs each summer, from late June to late August in 2026. The 2027 dates are not announced yet, and this page updates once they are.

About

Every summer a traditional funfair takes over part of the Jardin des Tuileries, between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. Nearly 60 attractions run from carousels and bumper cars to thrill rides, and the 60-meter Ferris wheel gives a view over the garden to the Eiffel Tower. Churro and crepe stands line the paths, and there is no blaring sound system, so it stays calm.

Free entry, rides paid separately
