[quote=Anonymous]A PP re: Paris and kid-friendly activities.

Our kid loves art and museums so she enjoyed all the adult-oriented activities that we enjoyed, though we made these visits shorter than if we had been there without her.  She loved climbing up Notre Dame Towers and Sacre Coeur dome, and going to the top of the Eiffel Tower.  We did do some specifically kid-friendly things there, like rent a toy sailboat in the Luxembourg Gardens, and go to the great play area there.  Also went to the temporary summer amusement park in the Tuileries.  But other than that, 90% of the time did normal Parisian tourist activities, mixed in with lots of walking around the city taking breaks for gelato and crepes.  When we visited museums, we talked about what we were going to see first, and showed her pictures of special works of art or other things to look for at that museum.  She loved getting the museum maps and looking for the highlights that we had talked about.  And she really liked looking at the metro map to plan out our trips every day.

We also let her man our little inexpensive digital camera, and she loved documenting the trip through her own view of what she thought was interesting.

And we taught her a few simple phrases, which she loved using.  The French people we interacted with were lovely to her.

Of course every kid is different and this is just what worked for our kid.  [/quote]
