WITH KIDS

Do: Climb the Eiffel Tower (also watch the sparkling version in the evening), Bateaux-Mouches - Riverboat along the Seine, Disneyland Paris (just outside Paris), or the easier version - the Disney store at Champs Elysees, Ile Saint-Louis with the small shops and ice cream vendors and markets and small shops in le Marais. Pont des Arts - let them explore all the key locks - exciting, romantic, time consuming and free...

Eat: French families LOVE to eat in restaurants. Eat early when the restaurant has just opened for lunch or dinner. Then it's easy to get a table, you don´t disturb others and the waiters have better time to cater for your needs.
