Louve- Mona Lisa, Dutch Masters and Code of Himmurabi; Cluny- unicorn tapestries; Impressionists at d'Orsay & de l'Orangerie; Versailles- Hall of Mirrors, the fountain show at the Fountain of Apollo; eating at many outdoor cafes and DC trying first escargo

Your kid actually liked Uffizi Gallery?  Our kids liked it for about twenty minutes then tired of the crowds really quick.

International travel is great, my kids have been on a couple trips, but if we’re being honest, kids don’t care about travel that much.  My kids favorite trips are to the Outer Banks/Hatteras Island where they boogie board, play beach volleyball, fish and hang out with their cousins.  [/quote]
Yeah, I know, but my kid was a teen when we went to Uffizi. I cannot imagine taking an 8yo.  [/quote]

Pp, here.  If I’m being honest, I didn’t even like Uffizi.  Sure, the art is priceless, but just too crowded for me to enjoy.  I find this with a lot of museums- I like them, but rarely enjoy them due to crowds.

What my kids liked best about Ponte Vecchio is watching the scammers throw “art” in front of pedestrians and try to make them pay for the “art” they trampled on.  I liked just sitting on the sidewalk by the river looking at the bridge, watching the sunset.[/quote]
