BAILLY-COCHET CAROUSEL
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Place François Rude, known as Place du Bareuzai. It's a beautiful square with cobblestones and half-timbered houses. There's a fountain in the middle and the carrousel is just behind

Highlights: We love this attractive city center. The children enjoy the carrousel with horses, motorcycle, elephant, airplane, locomotive, chicken, and a teacup that spins. It's open all the time! ✨
