"In April, don't lose your head," say the sayings of the months. And it's true that in Paris, with temperatures and weather relatively unpredictable during this month of the year, we can't agree with them. So, at the start of spring in Paris, what are the original, fun or simply family outings to discover with the kids?
Between the spring school vacations, egg hunts and the reopening of Parisian castles, gardens and other national monuments in fine weather, one thing is certain: Paris is blooming again, and with it the hope of being able to enjoy beautiful outdoor outings.
So now's the time to (re)discover the Paris Fair with your family, cheer on the Paris Marathon runners, visit the region's must-see educational museums, take a stroll through the capital's lesser-known neighborhoods, or go to the zoo and take part in workshops and other activities at family-friendly venues.
So, what are we doing in April 2026 with the kids?
