Paris With Children - Parks, Museums, and Cafes

Paris is a fabulous city!  Young and old alike can enjoy the history, the art, and the wonderful culture that emanates from this town.  If you’re visiting Paris with a young child or baby, you’re in luck!  There are adventures around every corner for those who know where to look.

Paris is a city of parks and playgrounds.  No matter where you go within the city, you’re sure to be close to one.  This is a great way to break up the day for your child, and a really fun way for your whole family to immerse yourself a bit into French culture.  The language barrier doesn’t stop children from having fun together on a playground!

If you want to see some museums, the Paris Museum Pass is a must!  This pass skips you to the front of the line at almost every attraction that it covers.  It gives you unlimited access to most of Paris’ most popular museums, including the Louvre, Notre Dame tower, Saint Chappelle, the Musee d’Orsay, the Centre Pompidou, and several others.

This works out perfect for museum-visiting with children - you won’t have to wait in lines, you can pop in and out of museums at anytime!  You can easily break up your day with park visits and cafes and still see everything you want to see.

Speaking of cafes, Paris is known for their cafe culture, and one can spend hours just sitting outside and people-watching.  Babies might be too restless to stay at a cafe for hours, but if you choose one on a pedestrian street or near a park, your child may be entertained by children playing, dogs running around and pigeons flying through, allowing for a restful break for everyone.

Visiting Paris with your children is a great way to introduce them to a a rich and historic culture, and have a great time while you’re at it!
