[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Popping in and out the Louvre to say hi to Mona Lisa alone will take an hour. I think your itinerary is much too ambitious.

Like the previous poster said, Sacre Coeur is very out of your way. I would skip montmartre for your short itinerary, unless you schedule Christmas mass there. (Did you by chance mean the conciergerie or sainte-chapelle instead of sacre-coeur?) If I had to, it would be tulleries, then bus to NotreDame, then subway to montmartre. The walk from tulleries to ND is totally doable by adults on a nice fall day, but difficult with other conditions added on like children or cold weather.

If your kids are 4 and 7, there is a little tower called tour saint-jacques just north of the river from notre dame with a little playground. If it isn't too chilly, I guarantee your children will remember this little detour and enjoy it more than another museum. Saunter down to the hotel de ville then there are plenty of buses/subway down rue de Rivoli back to the Louvre area, down south to the Latin quarter, or up north to the Marais.

I love that you are including musee des arts forains. Maybe consider ice skating at grand palais? The Gallerie Lafayette decorations are beautiful too. Whatever you end up doing, you will have a magical time! Enjoy![/quote]

Oh and thanks for the ice skating idea!! I will add that to the possibilities for our last evening...I'll let the kids take the lead on where they are up to visiting that night. [/quote]
