[quote=Anonymous]There are ways to skip the lines at Versailles, but it involves signing up for a tour (so you spend a couple hours on seeing rooms not usually open to the public, and then they drop you at the front of the line), so that may not be helpful.  If you go in summer, you might look into whether they are doing a nighttime fireworks and fountains festival-- kids would probably like the way they dress up the gardens and fountains with lights, but it is a late night if you stay for the fireworks (leaving Versailles around midnight).

If they like steak, then le Relais de l'Entrecote would be worth considering-- they only serve steak and fries (and salad and dessert), but they do it well (don't be put off by long lines-- they don't take reservations and since the menu is so simple the line tends to move fairly quickly).

The Eiffel Tour has lines for security now that can take a long time, plus lines to go up the elevators, but you can get timed tickets which help a little.  Sacre Coeur is another place where you can hike up some steps to get a wonderful view of the city.

We were never asked to get free museum tickets for our children, fwiw.

The bateaubus is another way to take a boat on the Seine.

And don't forget ice cream-- Berthillon, but others as well-- and pastry.

I have heard that the Paris Muse walking tours that are geared to families are great, but I haven't tried them.[/quote]
