Travelling to Paris with a grandchild

Hello everyone

I am planning to take my grandchildren to Paris - singly - starting with the 12 year old. I thought we would stay for three nights, in the centre somewhere and I would love to hear about other people's experience and to have some advice about things to do, places to stay, places to go etc. We'd probably fly as it would be from Newcastle.

@JaneAnn how did the Paris trip go?

The Alevel English Language and Literature Anthology brought us here and we were just wondering.

We really loved your posts. smile

Yes indeed, Sarah Cox has written a travel memoir, may I suggest ‘Around the World in 80 Dates?’ It is very interesting and largely focuses on Jim Morrisons’ grave, as well as the visitors.

I have been told that La Tour Montparnasse is a cheaper alternative to the Eiffel Tower for great views of Paris and also that the roof of Galérie Lafayette is a must.

This has to be some sort of record, a thread resurrected from 2013. smile

Another vote for pickpockets, watch out they are watching you I lost my purse, a few Euros but cancelled CCs, just a lot of hassle.
Personally I give Paris a miss these days

Riviera Travel have an excellent short trip to Paris which includes visits to major sites, an evening coach trip to see the lights and some time to do as you please. I went on this a few years ago. It was well organised and not too expensive. The guide was invaluable when a member of the group sadly had her credit card stolen. A friend of mine took her young nephew on the same trip and he loved it.

Treating my favorite granddaughters Zoe and Av to a cheeky trip to Paris end of Jan wink. Grandson Joe gets a trip to Wetherspoons as 50% of meals. Felt generous.

Aye, right.

JaneAnne You could take your 12 year old GC to the Parc de Villette which is a fun science and technology centre.. and get there by taking a canal boat journey from BelleVille.. I also think the Pompidou Centre is fun to visit for the external escalators and the many street performers there.
