\"ParisKids\"<\/a>France\u2019s cultural and romantic capital city is often thought of as being the domain of lovers and couples.\u00a0 There are, however, plenty of places to take the children when visiting this captivating city.\u00a0Some of the best places in Paris for children are:<\/p>\n

1. The Eiffel Tower<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even kids cannot help but be impressed by the looming iconic metal tower and the fabulous birds\u2019 eye views from above.\u00a0 There are often vendors and street performers at the bottom too for added entertainment.<\/p>\n

2. Jardin du Luxembourg<\/strong><\/p>\n

As well as being a charming Renaissance garden with plenty of space for children to run and play, one section is entirely devoted to keeping the little ones happy.\u00a0 There are slides, swings, and other typical play ground equipment, as well as a charming carousel and an old puppet theatre.<\/p>\n

3. The Pompidou Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n

Away from the main masterpieces of this world-famous museum you will find several areas aimed at children of different ages. Espace 13 \/ 16 is great for teenagers, whilst the Galerie des Enfants has lots of interactive displays and hands-on exhibitions that are perfect for amusing smaller kids.<\/p>\n

4. Notre Dame Cathedral<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst adults admire the grand and imposing Gothic architecture, children are usually fascinated by the leering gargoyles that watch over the grounds.<\/p>\n

5. Natural History Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within the Natural History Museum you will find parks, gardens, play areas, and a zoo.\u00a0 There is also a section of stuffed animals!<\/p>\n

6. Cite des Enfants<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed with children in mind, this terrific children\u2019s museum has a wide selection of activities and exhibits to keep younger members of the family entertained and enthralled for hours on end.<\/p>\n

7. The Conciergerie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Older children are likely to enjoy the eerie atmosphere of the Gothic vaulted halls within the old Medieval Palace.\u00a0 Venture into the grisly cells, where you can see a gruesome guillotine blade on display.<\/p>\n

8. Parc de la Villette<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parc de la Villette is a futuristic park and play area, with many different things for kids to see and do.\u00a0 Designed to spark imagination and inspire fun, it is a perfect place to spend a few joyful hours in Paris.<\/p>\n

10. Paris Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the summer, the sands along the banks of the River Seine are a hive of activity.\u00a0 Bouncy castles, outdoor games and activities, food and drink stalls, and concerts all create a jovial beach atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\"ParisKids2\"<\/a>11. Jardin d\u2019Acclimatation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 19th<\/sup> century children\u2019s park manages to combine an air of old Paris with modern rides and play things.\u00a0 It is novel and unusual, and kids can ride on the small train, see various animals in the zoo, wander along the boardwalk, run, play, and have fun!\u00a0 There is a cool jungle boat ride too, surrounded by period characters.<\/p>\n

Bonus<\/strong>:\u00a0 Of course, no mention of child-friendly attractions in Paris is complete without mentioning the nearby Disneyland!\u00a0 Two parks, various hotels, a golf course, Disney Village, and much more, create a magical and spellbinding time for the whole family.\u00a0 There are over 50 different rides and attractions, as well as shows and parades featuring all the favourite Disney characters.\u00a0 Disneyland Park has a mixed selection for all, and Walt Disney Studios Park has a focus on the big screen.\u00a0 In Disney Village you can shop, eat, drink, dance, watch live entertainment, catch a movie, and more! Who said that Paris isn\u2019t friendly?!<\/p>\n

Paris can be a wonderful getaway when travelling with children of all ages.\u00a0 Of course, travelling with children can pose separate challenges as to when you travel alone or with friends.\u00a0 Being able to speak some of the local language will help immensely.\u00a0 Feed, water, and entertain your little ones with ease, remove communication barriers, and impress your little darlings with your knowledge of another language!\u00a0 Know your oh-la-la <\/i>from your a la carte<\/i>, your jardin<\/i> from your gendarme<\/i> \u2026 understand what escargots<\/i> and moules<\/i> are on a menu!\u00a0 Find the toilet quickly and easily in those moments of dire need!\u00a0 Test out your current level of French<\/a> and learn some essential travel phrases to make your trip even more easy and fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
