The Fete des Tuileries is a family-friendly funfair in the heart of Paris. After the 2024 edition was relocated because of the Olympic Games, the fair returns in 2025 to its traditional setting in the Jardin des Tuileries. This article provides an overview of the main attractions, programme schedule, practical details and tips for planning your visit.
Main attractions and new features in 2025
The Fete foraine des Tuileries returns to the Jardin des Tuileries in summer 2025 with around sixty rides and stalls in a family atmosphere. A new highlight this year is the Olympic cauldron from the Paris 2024 Games, which lights up and rises into the air each evening around 9 pm, best viewed from the gondolas of the Ferris wheel. Classic attractions such as bumper cars, ghost trains, mirror mazes and a 1900 carousel delight visitors, while thrill-seekers can enjoy the Grande Roue de Paris, the high-speed 6G ride and the Booster. Younger children will love duck-fishing games, trampolines, giant slides and climbing walls. Food stalls sell cotton candy, candy apples, churros, crepes, waffles, beignets and hot dogs along the paths.
