Whilst on her travels this summer, the VV has had the pleasure of visiting the Musee Des Arts-Forains which is situated in the Bercy District of Paris.
The museum (which is built on the site of some Eiffel-era wine warehouses) is the most amazing place - full of antique wonders related to the history of funfairs and carnivals. The tours are relaxed and also interactive, which makes it a wonderful venue to take any inquisitive child ~ or simply the child within yourself.

Once you enter the doors it's not at all hard to imagine why Woody Allen used the museum in his film Midnight in Paris, as the setting for a riotous Roaring 20's party held by F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. But to show just how flamboyant and magical it is, below are a selection of photographs ~

And finally, the VV would like to thank Jean Paul Flavand ~ Founder of the Musee Des Arts Forains.
