It is a great show of falconry and medieval impregnation, in the historic, high and green setting of the ramparts, where fascinating birds of prey (eagles, buzzards, falcons, owls, caracaras and vultures) soar overhead in several scenes, in harmony with the majestic horses. This enchantment transports you to the world of falconry as it existed in the medieval West, the Near East and the steppes of Central Asia. The show is fascinating. A must see!

Today, this huge funfair is located on the Pelouse de Reuilly in the ^12th arrondissement, on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. It features over 350 attractions on a 10-hectare site, and lasts for around two months. The best way to get there is by public transport, as parking in the area is not easy.

An unsuspected corner of greenery in the heart of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, the Promenade plantée is a great opportunity for a walk!

From the Opéra Bastille, it takes you to the Porte dorée and the Bois de Vincennes, via the jardin de Reuilly, the viaduc des Arts and the allée Vivaldi. All you have to do is choose your option: Sunday walk or daily jogging?
