Paris through Young Eyes
$0.00
per item
Highlights:
We tend to think of Paris as a place for mature, urbane visitors and indeed, the art galleries, museums and superb restaurants might validate this. Seen through young eyes, however, Paris still amazes, captivates and delights the younger travelers and also their older traveling companions.
Some high quality hotels offer family rooms that keep costs in line and children close. While this program includes the “must sees,” it also includes less visited places of interest to children but also of interest to their parents. While each child is different, we feel that children 5-11 are the ideal age to have the capability to create lasting memories of the experience not the least of which is sharing it with their parents.
