The Paris
Tourist Office came out with many suggestions for "Family visits" in Paris.
I am reprinting
their article on the subject with their suggestions:
There are a large number of Parisian museums for both
children and adults.
Little girls adore
the glass showcases of the Musée de la Poupée (doll museum) (over 400 dolls
from 1800 to the present day in delightful settings) while little boys will
be thrilled by model boats at the Musée de la Marine.
The Musée de la
Magie, the Musée Grévin (with its wax figures) and the Musée en Herbe
(exhibitions-games on artistic, scientific and civic themes, especially
designed for families) provide a fun-filled time with an educational aspect.
Finally, the
national museums offer thematic visits designed for children, (together with
the Musée des Arts et Métiers, the Palais de la Découverte and the Cité des
sciences et de l’Industrie, the Cité de la musique, the aquarium at the
Palais de la Porte Dorée, and the Petit Palais or Musée des Beaux-Arts of
the Ville de Paris. Then, there is the Grande Galerie de l’Evolution, at the
Museum national d’histoire Naturelle, which exhibits thousands of animal
species, recounting the incredible history of the planet and the diversity
of species on earth and in the sea.
