Hi,


Anyone been to Paris with three children under 6, and have any good suggestions of affordable accommodation? Also keen to hear what people have found were good activities for children, and has anyone been to Disney Paris? Is it worth it, and do children love it?


I've been to Paris a number of times, but never with children, and can't imagine the usual churches, museums, galleries, boutiques will be what small children want to see???


Any tips, advice would be most welcome. Thanks. Skip.

i once went to eurodisney with a 5 year old and she loved it. it was many years ago now and we also took her older siblings and they all had a great time. she didn't seem to get too tired, but then she wanted to keep up with the older siblings.


easy to get the train from central paris i seem to recall. lots of shows put on as well as the usual rides. also was the nightime parade whihc we waited to see before we headed back to our hotel in central paris.

We went last Spring with our 3 year old and had a fantastic time, (without EuroDisney). We found that the cheapest option for us was to rent an apartment for the week and found a lovely one in Le Marais through Parisattitude.com, (also meant that we didn't have to eat out all the time). We did a lot of walking and noticed that the city is peppered with little playgrounds. Parc du Luxembourg is great - little boats on the lake, a fab children's playground, pony rides, a puppet theatre and old fashioned carousel, all in a beautiful setting. Les Tuileries is equally child-friendly. I think they also turn the Seine into a bit of a beach during the month of August too.
I went at at half-term with a 10yr old and 6yr old and also stayed in an apartment (www.myapartmentparis.com)and would recommend it as a stress free way to travel with kids! We felt very independent and think it added to the experience. Before going we also bought a book on Things to do in Paris with Children (Fodor Guides) from Amazon and it was really useful - if I can remember correctly it mentions things like access with a buggy which you would obviously need! I would second the recommendations for the Parc du Luxembourg and Les Tuileries, easy ways to spend an afternoon. Eurodisney is a great spectacle - the parade especially seems to blow kids away! Have a great time.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
