How to visit Paris with children

A trip to Paris with children necessarily includes a visit to Disneyland Paris. In fact, many times that is the only visit we make on a trip to Paris with children because urban tourist destinations are not usually associated with children's entertainment. However, cities and especially Paris, have much to offer both adults and children. All that is needed is a little foresight and take into account the preferences of the child. Go ahead to complement your visit to Disneyland Paris with the following tips and proposals especially designed to visit Paris with children.

Steps to follow:

one

The Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is a must-see in Paris that children usually appreciate from 4 years old or so, especially the climb to the top of the tower. What children do not appreciate and often end their patience are the queues to buy the tickets. To save time and avoid queues you can buy tickets online.

The Field of Mars (Champ de Mars) is the great green space that extends just at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. In addition to stunning views of the Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro that adults can enjoy, it offers activities for children: play areas, slides, sandpit ... and after school and during the holiday period pony rides and puppet theater.

3

Center Pompidou: Children often appreciate the futuristic architecture of the Center Pompidou but above all the fun fountain of Nikki that is in a small square right next to it.

4

The museum and the Louvre fountains: Children usually enjoy more with the fountains at the entrance to the museum than with the museum itself, but a visit to the museum should not be ruled out. The Louvre Museum houses works of art from all over the world and from all eras, it sure has something that may interest your children. So that the children do not get bored and get tired, it is better to plan the itinerary in advance, allowing the children to participate in the selection of what they want to see. The multimedia room Cyberlouvre located in the Carrousel du Louvre will allow you to make your pre-selection by computer. In this case you can also buy tickets in advance online to avoid queues.

Gardens of the Palace of Versailles. The Palace of Versailles is located in Versailles just outside of Paris and can be easily reached by train. More than the palace itself children will appreciate the gardens that also house buildings, fountains, lakes and canals. The entrance to the park is free when there are no special shows scheduled and inside the park there are plenty of payment options to explore the park that will excite children: train, horse carriage, segway, boat or bicycle (you can not bring your own bikes to the park, they should be rented once there). If you decide to visit the interior of the palace keep in mind that you can not enter with a stroller or with a metal frame baby carrier (there is a free lock to leave them at the door) and that in the afternoon (from 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. in season) high) there is a reduced rate: Entering the reduced rate hour can be a good option when you go with children to make a shorter visit to the palace.

We all know that one of the main problems when traveling with children is food. Everything will depend on the tastes of your children but a good and cheap option that you will find in all the corners of Paris and that children usually like are the street creperies. They offer salty and sweet alternatives. Children often like nutella and nutella-banana.
