[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love a few rainy day tips because I was trying to not overplan/overbook attractions so that we could have more time for wandering and visitng parks.  But we are going next week and the forecast is RAIN and I'm wondering what on earth I'm going to do with my kids if they can't blow off steam at parks/playgorunds.[/quote]

Evolution Gallery, Cite des Sciences (kid specific admission areas are amazing but be sure to book in advance), the playground at the Luxembourg Garden (and the little boats) which if it rains you can always duck across to Red Wheelbarrow and buy some books or go to a cafe. Aire de jeux pour enfants du Jardin Villemin is a really good playground near Gard du Nord and again just hop into cafes if it looks like rain. We did a kid specific boat tour that had a covered section if needed.

Also a lot of rain in Paris isn't necessarily downpour and people will still be out.

Across from the Evolution Gallery is the Grand Mosque cafe that has a chaotic but pretty indoor courtyard.

My kids loved just eating. We literally just ate all the things and walked a lot. There are also some incredibly cute kids stores too for shopping.

Brassiere des Prés is on the most quintessentially beautiful Parisian street and kid accessible.[/quote]
