❓ Paris with Kids FAQs
Is Paris good for toddlers and babies?
Hmm, where to start Paris can be very baby and toddler friendly with parks, cafés, and short-distance attractions. However there are many obstacles to overcome, such as the metro, which often does not have step-free access.
What can kids do in Paris when it rains?
Indoor museums, theatre shows, soft play areas, and baby-friendly cafés are great options.
Are there free things to do in Paris with kids?
Yes, many parks, playgrounds, and outdoor spaces across Paris are completely free. Some museums are also free on the first Sunday of the month
What is the best area to stay in Paris with kids?
Central areas near big parks like the Luxembourg Gardens or Eiffel Tower can be ideal for families. If you’re only coming for a very short stop and need to hop on the train the next day, consider staying near Montparnasse, which is bustling with many cafes (including baby cafes and kid-friendly theatres) it’s also near to Luxembourg Gardens. If you’re also going to Disneyland, but want to stay in central Paris consider staying in Vincennes, which is near a huge park, but also on the RER A line – taking you direct to Disneyland fun!
