Highlights of Paris with Kids

 

Eiffel Tower at night? Yes! The boat taxi along the River Seine? Yes! The bridge with all of the locks that people put there for a memento? Yes! The souvenir extravaganza of mini Eiffel Towers that kids buy with their own money and play with at the hotel? Yes! A sidewalk cafe with shelter from rain? Yes! The Mona Lisa at the Louvre? No! (too crowded - kids get stampeded). The merry-go-round at the Jardin des Tuileries OUTSIDE of the Louvre? Yes! The Musee de l'Orangerie that hosts two dedicated circular rooms of Monet's water lilies, without crowds? A resounding "Yes!". The photograph of your kids in Paris that you will treasure, despite the fact that you found a mouse in your room the morning of your departure, on a day that ended on an overnight layover at an airport hotel? Yes. C'est la vie!
