In a city one of the best things is that kids don’t have to be in a car, you get to walk or metro everywhere! This means you’re outdoors more and kids are ACTIVE. But everyone knows that you have to pair cultural time with outdoor/free time. Let those little legs run free!!!
Paris is amazing for this because there are so many enclosed parks!
Some of My Favorites Are:
1. Palais Royal – enclosed, things to climb on, in the back garden there are sand pits and a fountain with ducks.
2. Jardin du Luxembourg – enclosed, there is also a large fenced in playground inside the garden that’s brand new! You’ll need to pay to get in (I think it’s 50 cents a kid). There’s also an old vintage merry go round. Really beautiful and lots of space to bring a ball and play. Also good for picnics in the summer. Has a few fountains with ducks. Love love love.
3. Tuileries – enclosed, very busy, normally there’s some sort of carnival or Ferris wheel going on for kids. There’s a merry go round!
4. Jardin des Plantes – enclosed and has tons to offer: zoo, natural history museum, maze, tons of flowers and places to run. An absolute gem.
5. Jardin d’acclimatation– inside the bois de Boulogne. Enclosed, have to pay to get in but once in it’s amazing: rides, animals, green space. It’s on the 1 metro line which runs through the center of Paris so relatively easy to get to!
