The Best of Paris

Interior of the Galerie dApollon, Louvre

Families are spoilt for choice in Paris. The city is bursting with history and culture, from ancient monuments to modern art, but is also full of fantastic cake shops and cafs, carousels and marionettes. Paris in the Spring is a time-honoured saying, but actually this is a city for all seasons as far as families are concerned, with events and activities to delight and entertain young and old at any time of the year.

Paris in a weekend

The best and easiest introduction to the sights on the first day is a tour on an open-top bus. Afterwards, take a stroll around and watch the street entertainers before an early dinner you have a busy time ahead of you.

Start Saturday with a cruise along the Seine. Buy goodies for a picnic lunch on which juts out into the river.

Walk across to the .

Finally comes the highlight of the tour a trip up the . Saving it for last on the agenda means the kids will have great fun spotting all the places they have been.

Paris in a week

Get your bearings on arrival with a tour of the sights on an open-top bus. Another perfect way to get a feel of the city is on a cruise along the Seine, especially at twilight, perhaps at the end of your first day.

Allow a good half-day for exploring Ile de la Cit and its star attraction, Notre-Dame. At lunchtime you can graze your way along the main street of Ile St-Louis. Another district not to be missed is Montmartre, with its artists, its own vineyard and the stunning built by Louis XIV.

On a Sunday, stroll through the streets of the Marais, one of Pariss most historic districts.

If you need a break from cultural sightseeing, visit the cutting-edge aquarium, .

And no family trip to Paris should end without heading to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Paris season-by-season

Paris is lovely in the spring. Kids will adore the funfair in the and the shops are full of chocolate fish for April Fools Day and spectacular Easter eggs.

In summer, the Seines Right Bank turns into a beach, with sand, deckchairs and open-air events. On 14 July, there is a big military parade along the , a fly-past and fabulous late-night fireworks.

It is usually still warm enough in autumn to eat lunch outside, and easier to tour the museums and art galleries as there are less tourists about.

At Christmas there are ice skating rinks and decorations. Many hotels have special events for families, where Pre Nol might drop in.

Paris on a budget

There are plenty of ways to enjoy the city on a budget. Start by exploring the heart of ancient Paris, the Ile de la Cit and Ile St-Louis. Notre-Dame is free to visit and it is a quintessential Paris pleasure just to stroll along the quaysides soaking up the atmosphere.

If you only visit one museum in Paris, it should be the Louvre. Under 18s are admitted free, and, on the first Sunday of the month, there is no charge for adults. This is the case for most public museums. The Paris Museum Pass (see and parts of the Chteau de Versailles, without queuing. It is ideal for families as it makes short visits to museums cost-effective.

There are plenty of places where kids can let off steam, including the beautiful , where the playground is free. They are also perfect places for a picnic. Paris is full of inexpensive bakeries and street markets that sell top-class food at reasonable prices, so eating well on a budget will never be a problem.

To keep accommodation costs down, consider renting an apartment, or opt for one of the family-friendly Accor Group Hotels such as .

Culture vultures

Nearly all museums in Paris have childrens workshops and activity programmes. The citys museums and galleries are all on the school trip circuit and so are used to accommodating kids as young as three years old. There are even museums especially for children, such as the . For art lovers, the big draw is the Impressionist paintings in the Muse dOrsay, but the city is also full of smaller galleries. Some studios where now-famous artists lived and worked are open as museums and great to visit with kids.

History buffs will be in paradise. Paris has some excellent Roman remains and the Louvre has one of the best Egyptology collections in the world. Visiting the places where the key events in the French Revolution happened brings history to life, and marching determinedly like Napoleon through Les Invalides must be a boys idea of heaven.

For mini ballerinas a trip to is a must, at least for a twirl down the staircase, but, if the budget allows, do see a show as well. There is plenty, too, for musical and theatrical kids, with concerts and opera, puppet shows and childrens theatre.

The great outdoors

Paris is a wonderful city for walking and is full of great parks. The way to feel like a real Parisian is to watch the kids sailing a wooden boat in the Jardin des Tuileries or Jardin du Luxembourg, or riding on the citys merry-go-rounds.

For adults, there is nothing to beat strolling around the Ile de la Cit and Ile St-Louis in the moonlight, or as the sun sets on a summer evening, and it little more romantic than picnicking on the .
