Laughing gleefully and clearly having the ride of their lives, Angelina Jolie and four-year-old Maddox didn't seem to mind going round in circles in Paris on Monday. Still on their extended European trip, mother and son were enjoying the delights of the Eiffel Tower merry-go-round, watched by Angelina's partner Brad Pitt, who had his hands full with another young lady, one-year-old Zahara.
While other stars, such as Rod Stewart and Tom Cruise, marked their visits to the famous spot with a romantic rendezvous à deux and even a proposal, the actress and her handsome beau were making it very much a family affair.
As well as the carefree carousel jaunt, the Jolie-Pitts also took a leisurely stroll around the fairground, with the raven-haired beauty tucking into some candyfloss.
No one seeing the captivating pictures could doubt that Hollywood's hottest couple are a loving unit who share everything, including the care of their two children.
And the image of tender togetherness projected by Brad and Angie led UK women to vote their romance the one they'd most like to have. In a recent poll 46 percent of those surveyed described the photogenic pair's relationship as "ideal".
