The\u00a0glamour\u00a0of the City of Lights can sometimes make you forget that Paris is a charming destination for children. \u00a0It is a city that has never forgotten its sense of whimsy\u2014something you will be reminded of over and over again as you find delightful corners of the city with your children. \u00a0Timeless memories await you in the place where a happy childhood is always picturesque<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No visit to Paris<\/a> is complete without a trip to one (or several!) of the beautiful parks<\/strong>. \u00a0The Jardin du Luxembourg <\/strong>in the 6th arrondissement<\/a><\/strong> and the Tuileries Garden<\/strong> in the 1st arrondissement<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong>are two that will enchant your children. \u00a0At both of these gardens, miniature sailboats <\/strong>are available for epic sea voyages across the central fountain. \u00a0The boats may need a little prodding to make it from one side of the fountain to the other, but children of all ages\u2014and the young at heart\u2014will enjoy piloting their very own yacht.<\/p>\n

Be sure to take a ride on one of the beautiful wooden carousels<\/strong>. \u00a0Each garden in the city boasts its own merry-go-round. \u00a0In the Tuileries Garden, the carousel is a gorgeous 19th century antique with brightly painted horses and the traditional calliope music. \u00a0Children riding the Luxembourg Garden carousel each try to hook a brass ring with a lance. \u00a0A simple ride becomes an exciting quest!<\/p>\n

If energies are flagging, one of the famous marionette puppet shows <\/strong>would be the perfect rest and pick-me-up. \u00a0These colorful productions transcend language, so even the littlest spectators will find themselves giggling at Guignol\u2019s crazy antics. \u00a0There are marionette theaters in nearly every park in the city, each with daily showtimes, so you may find yourself bringing your children back again after they\u2019ve fallen in love with the old-time entertainment.<\/p>\n

Round out your visit to the park with a snack. \u00a0All children love finger food, and no Parisian food will entice quite like a crepe. \u00a0Stopping at a creperie<\/strong> is part entertainment\u2014watching the simply elegant construction of the crepe will be unforgettable for an American child\u2014and all delicious. \u00a0Introduce your child to savory crepes for lunch, and a crepe \u00e0 Nutella for dessert. \u00a0Licking the chocolate hazelnut sauce from her fingers will give your little one an unforgettable appreciation for food.<\/p>\n
