France For Kids -Where to Go and What to Do to Make your French Holiday the Best
All the Places to Go to Delight your Children in this European Country
A holiday with your children in France will be filled with art, castles, beautiful parks and tasty treats from the local bakeries. France is a wonderful place to travel to with kids. There are many reasons why this is the most popular tourist destination in the world and is one of my favorite destinations!
Traveling to France with a baby or a toddler can be a wonderful adventure. Little ones will enjoy exploring the colorful works of arts and stained glass windows. Toddlers are intrigued looking for patterns and there are many to be found here! France also has some of the best parks in the world. Many parks have entertaining activities such as puppet shows, carousels or toy sailboats to play with in the fountains. Kids just love to go to parks and I had to practically drag mine away from the parks of France! You will be able to wander the streets easily with a stroller but you may find it difficult using the metro as there are lots of stairs.
Exploring the numerous art galleries and museums is one of the best things to do in France for kids. Kids can become so inspired with a little nudge from their parents! Prepare a checklist of things to look for such as painting with a flower, a painting of a face, a watercolour painting etc..this way the kids will be on a mission and determined to find everything!
Bring your own water paints and clay with you for back at the hotel or a park on the way home and allow your children to be inspired by the masters. My kids made some great Monet, Picasso and Dali inspired work after a trip to the Louvre in Paris!
Teenagers will love exploring the flea markets in search of vintage clothing and souvenirs. They will also enjoy exploring the gorgeous French countryside and quaint villages. But most of all, they will probably like being very grown-up and sipping cappuccinos and eating brioche at the many cafes scattered all over France.
Fresh banana and chocolate crepes, cheesy French onion soup and croque monsieurs are some of the best
French food for kids
and grown-ups! It is amazing how addictive chocolate éclairs can be! One of the highlights of your family travel to France will be stopping at a local bakery for a sweet treat. This became a once or even twice daily ritual for my family!
