DAYS 01 - 04: PARIS
• Take the kids to one of the city's top museums, such as the Louvre or the d'Orsay early in the day when their energy levels are high.
• Burn off some energy hiking to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, or take it easy by jumping on the elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
• The Jardin des Tuileries is one of the most kid-friendly spots in the city, with a pond, carousel, and pony rides. Its central location makes it a good destination in its own right and is the perfect place to stop for a break or picnic.
