Kids are 13 and 15. We visited Paris 6 years ago as a family, and went to the Louvre, the Saint Owen flea market, Saint Chapel, Mount Martre/Sacre Couer, the Eiffel Tower and Versailles. We are likely to revisit Versailles, and perhaps other places, or we'll branch out. Any suggestions? |
Musee de la chasse et de la Nature. |
When are you going? |
April. |
Boys or girls? We did a trip with my teen boys this past summer and they loved the tour of the PSG stadium. It was by far their favorite thing. They also loved Musee D'Orsay and going to the tip-top of the Eiffel Tower. They were impressed by Champs Elysees when we drove by, and wished we'd had time to walk down it and into some of the stores. |
When you did Versailles, did you rent bikes and take them around the Grand Canal? Highly recommend! |
With teens; the Catacombs, Champs-Élysée, Trocadero, Marais scene and eateries. Canal St Martin area. |
Bump. Hey OP, how did this work out? ISO ideas for teens 13, 15 and 17 headed to Paris for spring break. Love trying new food and wondering where you would suggest to stay with teens? |
The Petit Palais art museum. It's free, and the building is gorgeous and when we went, fewer people than the famous museums. |
Watch Amelie as a family and check out some of those places. |
This is what we did in 4 days with teen DD:
Day 1: checked in to rental late morning. Took a quick nap, went to a cafe for crepes and waffles, and went to the Louvre. Day 2: Catacombs tour, cafe for lunch, and then took the stairs up the Eiffel tower. Day 3: Musee D'orsey, cafe for lunch, then a macaron baking class. Day 4: Food walking tour, afternoon nap, and then Montmarte/Sacre Couer. |
The best thing we did in Paris was a private tour (Context) of the Louvre. It was geared towards our kids and just so well done. Plus we got to skip the lines and get right to the good stuff. They also have tours of other places if you don't want to do the Louvre again. It was a splurge, but worth it. |
Catacombs! |
I know this is touristy but one of our most memorable Paris moments with our kids ( same age as yours ) was a dinner cruise on the bateau mouche.
Another memorable moment was a croissant baking class in the Marais. If you have a girl, shopping at Le Printemps followed by lunch at their rooftop restaurant “ La Peruche” is lovely |
Which company did PPs use for dinner cruises in the Seine? Hoping to book one for our upcoming trip. |
