Ferris Wheel in Paris?

Does anyone know if there is a ferris wheel in Paris? I can't seem to find any current information. I will be there the 3rd week of October. Thank you!

Periodically there has been one in the Tuileries Gardens near the Place d Concorde - often there when I walk thru anyway but not a steady thing I think.

The ferris wheel was up and running in the Tuileries Gardens this past August when we were in Paris.

Looks like you have missed a ferris wheel period. At the moment, the main ferris wheel is at the Fête à Neu-Neu in the Bois de Boulogne -- which ends October 14th. The next wheel will be the one at Place de la Concorde for Christmas. Last year it started on November 18th.

It seems to usually be in the Tuileries in the summer.

Yes, there are four locations during the year: Bois de Vincennes in the spring, Tuileries in the summer, Bois de Boulogne in autumn and Place de la Concorde in the winter. But each time is for about 2 months and not 3.
