Those GPS coordinates
Does anyone know why "48°52′27″N, 2°20′42″E" is at the top of the page? --tess 19:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

On the name of "folies"
The idea that folie is from the Latin word for leaf is a historical fantasy. The relevant French word in that case is feuille. Folie has an entirely different etymology. See here

Location
Why are you showing the location on a map of France, instead of a map of Paris? Valetude (talk) 23:37, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

On This Day
According to the On This Day for 1st May, the place actually opened on the 1st May, 1869.

Is it possibly for someone to double check this, and correct the relevant articles?

Thanks.
