She has become an essential element decoration, at Port Viguerie in Toulouse: it is the great wheel ! The imposing structure will be back from July 14 and will remain there for two long months.
Installation imminent
Toulouse residents will be able to return to their usual events this summer. And if Toulouse Beacheswhich starts on July 22, is noted in many calendars, the arrival of the great wheel is also one of the summer pillars, in the fourth largest city in France. And that is becoming clearer for the main attraction of these great holidays. Jean-Luc Moudenc, the mayor, and Laurence Arribage, assistant in charge of Sports, announced it together: she will arrive on July 14. But we will have to wait a little longer before climbing there.
“From July 15 and until September 15, the Ferris wheel will be open every day from 11 a.m. to midnight from Sunday to Thursday, then from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.”
A great evening for July 14
The Port Viguerie site, where the Ferris wheel takes up residence, will simply be “ closed to the public from July 10 to 15, due to preparations for the July 14 fireworks display,” as the town hall reminded us. It was on June 24 that the latter had detailed the program of the festivities who will animate the national holiday. “We will come back to a classic format for the most popular annual event in Toulouse”, savored Jonnhy Dunal, municipal councilor in charge of events. Fireworks, concert, broadcast on Twitch: the evening promises to be spectacular.
A splendid panorama
It is therefore after this evening that the Ferris wheel will be able to welcome lovers of splendid views, since it allows you to be perched at no less than 45 meters in height. Enough to immortalize fabulous moments.
