Like every year, a carousel is offered to children on Place Olivier, in the Saint-Cyprien district. A beautiful story.
At the end of the year, the Carson carousel returned to Place Olivier in Toulouse, from last Friday until this Sunday, December 22. Completely free, it is offered by the Carson City family managing the restaurant, the Crêperie Ice Cream Carson and the Carson Burger des Sept-Deniers. For more than a quarter of a century, a tradition that has brought joy to children and their parents from the neighborhood, but also from elsewhere. With unlimited rides, it’s a great Christmas gift that is very popular with families in these difficult times, as evidenced by Bénédicte, mother of little Juliette aged 6.

“We live on a neighboring street and the carousel is on the way to his school. We stop there every day after class. It’s really a great initiative which, to my knowledge, is unique in Toulouse,” she says. With more than 2000 rides offered in 10 days, year after year, the success of the ride remains as great as ever.
“A tradition and an obligation”
“The children are impatiently waiting for him and asking us when he will come back. It is not only a tradition, but almost an obligation,” jokes Dominique Bertrand, founder of Carson City. His establishment, which has also become an institution in Toulouse, has occupied the place for 40 years. Installed in its new premises at number 16, after a three-year closure, Carson City quickly found its faithful with recipes that have made its reputation.

An American restaurant, certainly, but with good French products, like Aubrac beef. Homemade cuisine to be enjoyed in the large room on the ground floor, upstairs for groups, or on the terrace. For the Carson family, well established in this district of Saint-Cyprien, it is also a pleasure to offer moments of happiness to the children. And like every year, the lucky ones will be able to win numerous prizes (milkshake, pancakes, burgers or t-shirts).
