Tips for Paris Itineraries with Kids
Designing the ideal Paris itinerary can feel like piecing together a complex puzzle, especially when travelling with kids. Living in Paris with two little ones has given me a unique perspective on navigating this iconic city in a way that’s enjoyable for both adults and children. We all know that while parents might have an endless list of landmarks and museums they want to check off, our younger companions often march to the beat of a different drum. With this in mind, I’ve put together family-friendly Paris itineraries that balance cultural immersion and plain old fun. These itineraries are practical for families, ensuring days are exciting but not too tiring. You’ll get highlights of Paris’s history and culture, plus discover hidden spots for an authentic touch.
Pick what works for you; skip what doesn’t. Remember that many of the city’s attractions and restaurants close on Sunday or Monday, so check their hours beforehand.
Let curiosity guide you; if a detail catches your eye, wander down a side street and surrender to Paris’s own narrative. In this city, wandering is an art form, captured in the French word ‘flâner‘ – a leisurely stroll through its streets with no purpose other than to soak in the beauty and rhythm of daily life.
So, bookmark this Paris itinerary, share it with friends and family planning their Parisian escape, and get ready to explore Paris in a way that delights everyone. Welcome to a family vacation in Paris that you’ll never forget!
