My granddaughter aged 12 has recently been to Paris on a school trip.
Some of the things they did: the Science & Industry museum, Arc de Triomphe, Pompidou centre, Louvre, Montmatre, Sacre Coeur, River Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Also they had a trip to Versailles for the day.

HI JaneAnn it's worth posting the same query on Fodor's website; or check out answers to similar queries: www.fodors.com/community/europe/ideas-for-paris-with-12-year-old-daughter.cfm

We had a week in Paris recently, but without any children!
However, I'd still say get a 3 day Riverboat pass....like a hop on hop off bus but on the Seine...brilliant.
The Louvre is wonderfull as is the d'Orsay if art is an interest. I'd watch out for some very creative pick pocketing though. They usually use diversionary tactics, so have EVERYTHING zipped up in inside pockets.

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.
