The Jolie-Pitts visit French amusement park

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and their brood made a surprise visit to an amusement park in the Charente-Limousin region in France last week. "We're a small little town, we're not used to having celebrities," an employee of the park told a local paper. "We don't get French celebrities, so it's completely crazy to find yourself standing with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the most chased-after couple in the world in front of you. Completely crazy." Last Monday, while the park's six employees were having lunch, a blacked-out Mercedes van pulled up carrying the Jolie-Pitt clan. "I asked myself, 'Who is this man with a ball cap and this woman with black sunglasses?'" said another staffer. "We were all extremely shocked. Employees offered to waive the entry fee, but Pitt and Jolie insisted on paying and stayed about an hour. "To see Brad Pitt knocking around in a bouncy castle with his children [and] screaming like wild animals was like a hallucination," said the park's operator.
