Things to do in Paris with your family
Paris, a playground for young and old alike
Staying in the capital opens the doors to exceptional places and offers an unparalleled choice of activities: sports, art, culture, discovery - there is something for all tastes and all ages. Be inspired by our selection and choose your next family activity in Paris.
The added bonus? Each visit is accessible by public transport from your exceptional Parisian location.
Great monuments for little ones
When visiting Paris with your family, you can't miss out on the city's greatest monuments. Here are our recommendations for combining discovery and wonder:
- The Eiffel Tower, with its ascent to the second floor and breathtaking view.
- The Arc de Triomphe, whose circular terrace invites you to spot the major monuments.
- Notre Dame, to be admired from the square before descending into the archaeological crypt.
These are must-see attractions for families that will be talked about for a long time to come, with stars in your eyes.
La Villette, a paradise for budding explorers
Located in northeast Paris, Parc de la Villette is a huge playground combining lawns, works of art, and themed areas.
At the heart of the site, the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie invites visitors to touch, test, and understand through its interactive exhibitions. Younger visitors have their own world with the Cité des Enfants, designed for learning through play in a space tailored to their size.
After exploring, meet up in the park to run around, have a picnic, or simply watch the barges float by on the Canal de l'Ourcq.
Would you rather be a new star or a Cro-Magnon?
Do your children dream of meeting celebrities? Singers, actors, actresses, or even soccer players... We're sorry, but we can't make any promises on that front. However, at the Musée Grévin, children can meet their wax counterparts.
If it's humanity in general that fascinates you, the Musée de l'Homme guarantees an exceptional journey in the footsteps of our ancestors, with a collection that is unique in the world and will leave a lasting impression.
Another must-see destination is the Palais de la Découverte, where you can push the boundaries of your knowledge and learn about the fabulous secrets of the world around us.
Journey to the heart of life
In Paris, nature also tells its story through two iconic locations.
- The National Museum of Natural History and its Grand Gallery of Evolution offer spectacular displays: stuffed animals, majestic skeletons, and immersive lighting captivate children.
- The Paris Zoological Park takes visitors on a journey through five biozones, from the African savannah to the forests of Madagascar, where they can observe giraffes, lemurs, penguins, and wolves in environments close to their natural habitats.
Two complementary ways to explore the diversity of life, combining emotion and learning.
Take a family stroll through the capital
Walk together, look up, marvel at a detail in a garden or a hidden passageway... From the cobbled streets of Butte-aux-Cailles to pony rides in the large parks, the capital can be explored at child height.
Terminus: magic, by Toutatis!
Why not take advantage of your stay in Paris to spend a day in an amusement park? Are you more of a Snow Queen or a die-hard Gaul? Disneyland Paris and Parc Astérix are both accessible by public transport. Take a rejuvenating bath and let yourself be guided: this time, it's your children who will take you into their fabulous world.
Treat your children to a magical day
Disneyland Paris is just an hour away from Villa Modigliani. Treat your children to a magical day with their favorite characters and attractions! Make their dreams come true with a family getaway.
