Paris with Children

Paris with Children

Paris, the city of lights, the city of romance but it is also a great place to take your children for a wonderful cultural experience that will open their eyes to the world. I have listed some of the places to take children and some of the restaurants that are fun for children as well.

Batobus – a cruise down the Seine with stops along the way.

Luxembourg Gardens – carousel, ice cream and running around

Tuileries Gardens – another carousel, ponds with boats and cotton candy

                                 At the end of the Tuileries is the L’Orangerie with the

                                 Monet Water Lilies                     

Angelina’s Tearoom – the best chocolat chaud in Paris and a fabulous patisserie.
