Shows on Wednesday mornings or Wednesday afternoons
We don’t always think about it, but the theatres offer a very varied programme on Wednesdays during the day for young audiences. We have also added some shows that are played on Wednesday evenings, because it would be a shame to miss them!
Current exhibitions to see with children
Wednesdays are a good compromise to see exhibitions with children. It’s more pleasant because there are often fewer people than at the weekend. However, remember to book your tickets if you can. All exhibitions are accessible on Wednesdays in Paris.
