Questions
All indoor activities with of course museums and their temporary or permanent exhibitions . The Gulli indoor parks are a very nice outing with little ones. Just like aquariums…
Many museums are free all year round, including during the Spring holidays. There are very nice playgrounds for the youngest.
Having good shoes is essential because, as in all big cities, you walk a lot in Paris. In April, “don’t uncover yourself by a thread”! It’s well known… It can still be a little cold… And don’t forget your umbrella!
