Paris Ferris Wheel Closed Now?
 
We will be visiting Paris 10/23-10/26. I wanted to purchase tickets for the ferris wheel at Place de la Concorde. However, the information that I am finding on various websites state that the ferris wheel will be open through 9/23 due to the European football soccer championship that was hosted in France and then another website that states the 2016 dates are 11/11/16-5/15/17.

Does this mean that the ferris wheel is currently not in operation? Thank you!

The wheel was dismantled on September 15th.

I'm happy it's gone. There are plenty of places where one can get a panoramic view of Paris. Don't see the need for a ferry wheel.


Now if only they could get rid of those tacky bazaar-like stores in front of Sacré Coeur.
