# Paris with kids: a day out

> Paris with kids means a tower, a river and gardens. In the morning, the Eiffel Tower by lift with a view over the whole city, then a picnic on the Champ de Mars lawn and the Trocadéro fountains. After lunch, an hour-long boat trip on the Seine past the Louvre and Notre-Dame, and in the evening the Tuileries Garden with its ponds, green chairs and carousel.

## How the family day works

Children are freshest in the morning, the perfect time for the Eiffel Tower: book the lift ahead to skip the queue. Come down to the Champ de Mars for a picnic, then cross the Pont d'Iéna to the Trocadéro, where the fountains play on warm days.

After lunch, board a boat at the foot of the tower: in an hour you'll see the Louvre, Notre-Dame and the bridges while the children rest. In the evening, take the metro to the Tuileries to sit by a pond and ride the carousel.

You can remove any stop with the cross, reorder with ≡ or add another nearby, and the timings update.

## Where to eat with kids

For a Champ de Mars picnic, buy a baguette, cheese, fruit and pastries on Rue Cler, lunch and entertainment in one. The boats and the tower have snack cafés, and the Tuileries has ice-cream and crêpe kiosks.

Many bistros have children's menus and high chairs, and cafés are relaxed about kids. Dinner starts from 7:30 pm, but the cafés by the gardens serve earlier.

## Tips for Paris with kids

The metro has lots of stairs and not every station has a lift, so with a pushchair buses or walks along the Seine are easier. Pushchairs are allowed on the Eiffel Tower, but the lifts are crowded at peak times, so fold it in advance.

Entry to most national museums is free for under-18s, so a short visit to the Louvre or the Orsay costs nothing for them. In the Tuileries and the Luxembourg Gardens children sail toy boats and ride carousels, a great break between walks.

## More for kids

Kids love the [Luxembourg Gardens](https://yesgo.io/france/paris/jardin-du-luxembourg) with toy boats and puppet shows, the [Parc de la Villette](https://yesgo.io/france/paris/parc-de-la-villette) and its science city, and a whole day at [Disneyland Paris](https://yesgo.io/france/paris/disneyland-paris).
