Les Miroirs Déformants

Narcissus taught us that it was dangerous to look at oneself while admiring oneself, and Dorian Gray taught us that the image of the face reflected by the mirror could be deceptive.

There's a saying that sums it up:

"Mirrors would do well to think before they reflect images".

In fact, the Jardin d'Acclimatation's Miroirs Déformants (distorting mirrors) are all about optical illusion. As pranks, they produce astonishing visual effects, transforming visitors into Lilliputians or titans, tall stalwarts or paunchy bellies.

From filter to curvature, the reflections distort, shrink, magnify and lengthen, creating a strange spectacle for visitors, whether actors or spectators. This top-quality attraction guarantees moments of laughter and entertainment for all ages.

At the Jardin d'Acclimatation, visitors can revel in these optical mysteries the mysteries of optics and be entertained by a dozen impressive illusions along the Avenue Maurice Barrès, on the Jardin side, near the village of rides.
