Paris + luxury hotel + treasure hunt

Paris is magnifique with kids: The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral (home of contemplative Gargoyle, right), the Louvre... or simply strolling, or strollering, along the Seine.

But where to stay? Well, if your budget is, um, substantial, you could treat your family to a deluxe experience at the five-star, centuries-old Le Meurice, near the Louvre: with adjoining rooms, Pistache le Chien plush doggy mascot (chien=dog), gift for kids, and a hotel treasure hunt.
