[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I booked tickets to the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower that was $35 total.

My 7yo asked if we can go to a thrift store and find fancy dresses and have a "Paris picnic" by the Eiffel Tower.

Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Jardin d'Acclimatation
Jardin du Luxembourg

Pastries

Walking along the river / exploring bridges

The Plages- free swimming "beaches" they have in the summer

Place du tertre to see the painters, then meander around Montmartre

Mussee Rodin is free for kids and they have a kids art studio where they can draw and sculpt with clay

Pretty old carousels

Street performers

Markets

Ice cream

We travel via home exchanges so we are doing that for accommodations. It's free and comes with lots of perks- they're leaving their bikes for us, kitchen for cooking so we don't spend too much eating out, laundry, etc. The flat has a view of the river so honestly even sitting on the balcony in the mornings sipping coffee and people watching while the kids play with all the "new" toys in the flat is a big treat for me.[/quote]

I am SO SO THRILLED for you, OP!  Where in Paris is your flat (which arrondissement/metro stop)?  I can see lots of picnics in your future - which is honestly how everyone should be spending their time in Paris rich/poor/without kids anyway!  You'll find some restaurant/shopping closures in August but your plan to cook at home and take advantage of the summer activities will mitigate a lot of issues.  I would pack MUCH LESS than you think you need but maybe find some space for a travel fan - it's hot in Europe lately.  Does the flat have AC by chance?

Please come back and post live updates of your trip.  :)[/quote]
