Comment

This token represents the Bagatelle park mascot, Baggy.
Most visitors mistakenly think that Baggy has existed since the park was created, but in reality, the image, the face, the mascot that you can meet in the park hasn't existed since 1955! It was in 1989 that Serge Faucquemberg created Baggy! This new mascot appeared on the new logo at the time. He was phenomenally well received by the public. Baggy changed the park's image, winning over 3 generations of visitors with his round shape and endearing face! Dozens of drawings have been made in his effigy, on maps and postcards, and some attractions bear Baggy's diminutive name, such as the Captain'Bag, the Rapido'Bag and the Bag'a'bato! ....
