Things to do in Paris
Jardin des Tuileries: A storybook park between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. Kids can play carnival games, twirl on a vintage carousel, ride trampolines and snack on crêpes with a front-row seat to Parisian life.
See the Sites: Spotting the Eiffel Tower never gets old, whether you're climbing up, picnicking below or watching it sparkle at night. Add a visit to Notre-Dame, Arc de Triomphe, and Sacré-Cœur for the full postcard experience!
Bateaux Mouches (Seine River Cruise): Sail through Paris with a breezy boat ride past all the famous landmarks. Perfect for resting little legs while still sightseeing! Bonus: Spotting all the bridges is a fun game for kids!
Jardin du Luxembourg: Sail toy boats, ride ponies and play in the ultimate Parisian park. A little adventure for the kids, a little café time for you — perfect!
Disneyland Paris: A sprinkle of magic just outside the city — because even in Paris, Disney dreams come true!
Bois de Boulogne & Jardin d’Acclimatation: A massive park with rowboats, bike paths and Paris’ cutest amusement park hidden inside! Ride a mini roller coaster, pet farm animals and hop on a vintage carousel.
Musée Grévin (Wax Museum): Ever wanted to meet Napoleon, Spider-Man, or a French pop star? This wax museum lets kids strike a pose with lifelike figures, making it the perfect mix of history and silliness.
Parc de la Villette: A giant adventure park with everything from futuristic playgrounds to a submarine you can explore. It's part science fair, part jungle gym and totally fun.
Chateau de Versailles: Step into a fairytale! Wander through the golden halls, explore the endless gardens and rent a golf cart to cruise around like royalty.
Bonus: Kids love the boat rides on the Grand Canal!

Meunier: This cozy boulangerie is a must-visit for pastry lovers! My personal favorite is the bicolor pain au chocolat — a delicious combo of hazelnut praline and chocolate wrapped in a two-toned pastry. Perfect for a sweet treat to start your day or enjoy on the go!

Need to know
Keep cash on hand: While credit cards are widely accepted, it's always handy to have some euros on hand for smaller purchases or places that might not take cards, like markets, bakeries or some local cafés. Some places also don’t accept American Express.
Tipping culture: Tipping isn’t like it is in the States. A couple extra Euros will do the trick!
