Description

La place du Carrousel è una piazza di Parigi sita ad occidente del palazzo del Louvre. Deve il suo nome ad una esibizione di equitazione militare, svoltasi in questo luogo al tempo di Luigi XIV il 7 giugno 1662, in occasione della nascita di suo figlio Luigi, il Gran Delfino. S'innesta sull'avenue du Général-Lemonnier.

Prima del XVII secolo il luogo era costituito da un terreno incolto tra il Palazzo delle Tuileries e la cinta di Carlo V, reso inutile nel XVI secolo dalla costruzione dalla enceinte des Fossés jaunes più a ovest. Nel 1600 vi fu impiantato un giardino, detto de Mademoiselle , che fu poi distrutto nel 1655. La piazza fu creata nel 1662 per permettere la tenuta del carosello da cui prende il nome.
