Going on Family Walks and Outings This Summer in Paris and the Area

Festivals for Children in Paris
Music, theater, cinema - festivals are popping up left and right like daisies this summer, including festivals for kids! Sortiraparis offers its selection of children's festivals to try out and approve. They come in all shapes and sizes and there’s something for all ages! So, what will it be, an outdoor film festival (Cinéma en plein air), or a children's music festival (Pestacles) in the Parc Floral?
Outings for Cultural Experiences and Culture with Children
This summer 2016, maybe you’re looking for something that combines fun and learning to fill the kids’ schedules. What about bringing them to see dinosaurs, barbies, super heroes, or baby animals? Sortiraparis has prepared a list of all of the best museum exhibitions and cultural events for kids and their parents!
Swimming and Beaches in Ile-de-France
In summer, everyone dreams of sandy beaches and coconut trees, but what if you have to stay in the Ile de France region? The best solution is to make the most of the many different beaches and swimming spots specially set up for the locals that are stuck in the city. Between the Paris Plages events, sports, nature and recreation parks and other fun beach events planned, the summer season transforms Paris into a beach resort where families dream of going!
Flower and Produce Picking Around Paris
Self-service picking is a fun way to get out of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Just minutes away from Paris, you can experience the joy of collecting and picking your own seasonal flowers, fruits and vegetables. There isn’t a fresher way to get your produce, and your wallet will thank you for it too! It’s a nice idea for a family outing, since kids love discovering and tasting fruits and vegetables.
The Best Places for a Picnic in Paris
Picnicking is an affordable and fun activity that kids love too. Now all you have to figure out is where to go…
Sports Activities for Kids This Summer
Are your little ones full of energy and jumping all over the place? You might want to try a sports activity this summer in Paris. Between basketball, swimming, ropes courses or even bungee jumping, the city and the region have plenty of fun outlets for kids where they can release some of that relentless energy!
During summer, Parisians dash off to the parks to catch a little sun, and there’s nothing better than bringing a good book to read under the summer sky. The city council in Paris has caught on to the idea and is relaunching their park public library initiative, making books accessible to readers of all ages, available just outside the park walls, during the months of July and August 2016.
So if after all that you still don’t know what to do with the kids this summer in Paris, take a closer look! We’re sure there’s something for every family in our guides to this summer’s activities with children.
Happy summer vacation, everyone!
