The site brings together traditional funfair stalls, family-friendly rides and attractions for anyone looking for a faster-paced experience. The city lists Sweety, New World XXL, Flasher and Top Spin Fresh, among others. Madison Skooter and Palais des enfants are also among the attractions mentioned. You can choose between thrills and a more leisurely ride. You can find the exact selection and prices at each stall.

Food and drink are also part of Foire: restaurants and stalls offer churros, candyfloss and other fairground favourites, among other things. So the event is worth visiting even if you don't want to try every roller coaster and ride.
