Paris With Kids
Paris has some wonderful sightseeing that kids will already be primed to visit: even young kids know about the Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame Cathedral may also be familiar to many thanks to the Hunchback of Notre Dame story. Also, simply strolling along the Seine is fun. And (dare we mention) there are two terrific theme parks nearby.
