Travelling to Paris with a grandchild

I remembered the time I went to Paris. I met a hunky American man named "Daryl" he was looking for his brother Richard. He took me on motorcycle rides, crossbow shooting and an anti shower rally. Unfortunately my grandchild got eaten by a wild animal indigenous to France known as a "walker"

All around a great,hot steamy time.

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.

Ten years too late pascal30 !

oh dear, well spotted.. I wonder why it popped up again..

But oh my goodness this is such an old thread!

Are you still here JaneAnn?

Galeries Lafayette would also be on my list.
Pretty amazing.
The Orsay is fabulous and does (or used to do) guided tours. I think I'd do one of those.

might not be so enthralling for a 22 year old to be dragged around Paris by his/her granny. maybe.

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

This thread is from 2013.

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.

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

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