The Annual Paris Fair: A fun-filled visit through the eyes of a child
FROM A KID’S VIEW

With Stephen L
I bet you’ve heard of the annual Paris Fair that happens every summer here in Paris Well, I have to admit it’s the most fun, thrilling, and even exciting thing to do if you want to have just a little more fun before going to school. With thrilling rides, awesome concession stands, and cool marketplace vendors with stuff you might not even find elsewhere! Here are some things that I thought were neat.
The Thrilling Rides
I’d like to talk about the fair’s most popular attractions: the rides! I’ve been on a few of them and I have to admit, some of them scared me a bit given the fact of how scary it was to go that high (I’ll explain in a bit)! The first ride that I went on was called ‘Freak Out!’. It’s very intimidating, but worth it in the end It’s a ride in which you sit down and it moves left to right (kind of like a rocking ship or boat in a storm) and turns at the same time! It made me a bit nauseous, but awesome! Even though the fun fair is mostly directed at kids, I would say that the ride isn’t suitable for younger children.
If you want to experience a real thrill, take a ride on the Freak Out! While it might have left him a little nauseous, Stephen recommends you give it a shot next year!
The next ride I went on, I guess you could say, was the second most popular attraction at the fair - judging by the line up! It stretched from the front of the ride around and to the very back. Even though it took me nearly 20-25 minutes to get to the front, it was worth it in the end! (Next time you go to the fair here’s a helpful tip - if you are waiting in a long lineup, and you came with more than one person, one person could stay in line while the other person gets treats and/or drinks to eat while you’re waiting!) Anyway, the bumper cars were really enjoyable! Basically, you get in a kart latched to the ceiling and you drive around bumping the other karts. It was fun and I would say all ages could enjoy it (except for babies of course)!
