[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please show your kids some real history and culture rather than endless food tours, bike rides, escape rooms, cooking classes, and the other ridiculous activities that people try to pass off as “travel” these days. Dear God. [/quote]
What do you qualify as real history and culture?  My kids are not going to spend days looking at Renaissance art, nor are they interested in visiting church after church.  We'll do some of each, but a bike ride one day sounds like a nice break from crowds.[/quote]

With all due respect, then they are not ready for Europe. Y’all can ride bikes at home. [/quote]

As an expat living in Europe (not France) I find this to be a really weird take.  It's obviously country dependent but cycling in many areas is way more of a lifestyle here (e.g., my DH has a 30 min bike comute to work) and as a tourist it can be a great way to see more of an area than you could reasonably cover by walking in a shorter time.  There is way more to Europe than moving from one museum/church to the next in the name of absorbing culture.  If that's how you like to spend your time, great.  But that's not how most European families with kids are spending their time on holiday, are they "not ready" for Europe either?[/quote]
