Let’s be honest, finding that hidden gem—a terrace where you won't be judged for arriving with your little ones in tow—isn't always easy; a place where they can also have fun with games or play in the sand, while you relax with a carefully crafted drink or nibble on some tapas with friends, who are also parents.
Spacious and notably kid-friendly outdoor terraces that can comfortably host you and your little crew are quite rare in Paris. But rest assured, there are spots where children can play happily in the sand, alongside their friends, even if they aren’t the most famous ones!
To help you secure that coveted terrace and enjoy the best spring-summer season possible, we're revealing the terraces where you can have a family-friendly outing in the upcoming sunny months in the city. Check out these great family spots!
Heads up: since the sun has decided to make an early appearance this year (we're only in February-March, after all!), make sure to double-check if these spots are already open for business!
