We bought this book for friends who are living now in Paris (and we are French and we know Parish quit well) They have got 3 children and they are thrilled with this book. It gives them plenty ideas to do with the kids. Very easy and good explenation (and it doens't stop with the main attraction!)
So if you are going to Paris or somebody is going to live there this will be a great book!

This review is from: Fodor's Around Paris with Kids, 3rd Edition: 68 Great Things to Do Together (Travel Guide) (Paperback)

This book calmed me down. When we decided to go to Paris with our 3 and 7 year old boys, we could only think of all of the things we could NOT do. This book let me know how each site would work with kids and what to expect. It also included a number of sites I had not really noticed in our Lonely Planet guide, but which turned out to be great.

My seven year old really got into it. It has a flip-cartoon of the Eiffel Tower, which he flipped over and over again before settling on a page to read. It really excited him.

I strongly recommendation this book if you are going with kids.

Took a 5 and 8 year old to Paris and this book was a great help! Nice, accurate descriptions of activities and sights and helpful information about public transportation to each one. Great small size enables you to take it along in a purse or tote. Got the Washington DC book for our trip there as well.
