La Grande Roue
La Grande Roue (The Big Wheel) of Paris was unveiled at the 'Exposition Universelle in 1900'. It was the tallest wheel in the world at its opening. The passenger pods were so large that they were removed from the wheel and used as homes for French families during The First World War.
Since 1900, the Grand Roue has become a spectacular site at Fetes Foraines throughout the summer in France.
