It's often said that the capital is not at all, but not at all, suitable for children. Too many people, too much stress, suffocating public transport, running around everywhere, all the time... And yet, the Île-de-France region is a goldmine for those who know where to find kid-friendly places, family-friendly cafés, places to let off steam or unusual experiences like nowhere else.
In winter, we take refuge in the warmth of Paris's great museums, which welcome families with workshops and guided tours, in family-friendly third places that offer a whole range of activities to stimulate your little ones' creativity, in kid-friendly cafés or restaurants that offer family brunches with entertainment! Not forgetting alternative venues offering free activities, temporary events for the holidays, cooking workshops and entertainment in shopping malls...
In summer, we're off to the great outdoors with rope parks and leisure areas that open their doors to young and old alike for afternoons of sunbathing and enjoying the warm weather. It's also a great opportunity to go hiking and walking in the regions, or to discover the capital's hidden nuggets with themed guided tours, created especially for a young audience. All that's left to do is make your choice and enjoy summer in the capital!
Throughout the rest of the year, there's no shortage of festivals for young audiences or major free cultural events! From Contes et Histoires during the Christmas vacations to Fête de la Science, Nuit Blanche and Paris Plage... There's always free entertainment accessible to all in Paris and its suburbs.
