[quote=Anonymous]we are ex pats nearby (not based in Paris)  and visited the LV foundation when they  had the Hockney exhibit up last April- my kids loved it. Also the Musee D'orsay  is really fun. we drove out to chateau Chantilly one day and the kids really enjoyed it, we stopped at a tiny village bistro on teh way back into Paris and it was so adorable. the French countryside little villages really are very cute- bike ride around versailles also sounds lovely.

the French are obsessed with cookies these days so eventhough its counter intuitive- id try a French style chocolate chip cookie, it was interesting to see how the taste differed and they are quite scrumptious.   We also really enjoyed the catacombs so that is another good idea.  The Louvre has a scavenger hunt that sounded fun- has anyone done it?? I personally like the Italian churches better plus kolm, rheims are closer for us so didn't visit ND with the kids but if your kids like gargoyles I'd include that. make sure to get reservations b/c the good bistros do fill up.  
"europe" isn't really any different than anywhere else- its just everything is closer together.  A cruise along the seine might be nice, remember that the weather is still rainy and chilly in April so bring rain gear.  you can pop into bakeries on isle st. louis to get the ice cream and have a picnic so I wouldn't waste time in line at bertillionss if it is very long.  The Japanese and Lebanese food is amazing as well if you get sick of the French food.   with kids your ages, just skip the left bank entirely  (its full of americans and tourist tat and Smith and sons is a much better book store than Shakespeare and co and if you dont want a play ground, no point in going to garden de Luxembourg)  and head to the Marais, the falafel really is that good!! the green space at versailles is much more interesting.  I actually low key kind of hate the left bank with older kids.  make sure to visit the Rodin museum, the gardens will be amazing in spring.  [/quote]
