    Paris and London with kids - planning the trip - part 2

    September 27, 2012

    Alexander Medvedovski

    If you read the previous post about our trip to Paris and London you remember we made a detailed plan of our stay in Paris.
    Here is how it worked out. 

    June 13
    just after noon - departing from Frankfurt, Germany by train
    16:50 - arrive to Paris
    17:30 - arrive to the hotel
    18:00 - dinner
    Unexpectedly it took us a little bit more than one hour to check in.  So we quickly had a snack in the nearest restaurant and went to Eiffel Tower 
    18:45 - ice cream
    Because we wanted to visit Eiffel Tower that night we skipped ice cream
    19:00 - take subway to Eiffel Tower
    When we reached Eiffel Tower it started raining and we became wet very quickly. Our kids anticipated to be on the top of Eiffel Tower very much, so rain was not a problem for them.
    20:00 20:30 - go to the top of Eiffel Tower
    Our kids were very excited when they reached the top of Eiffel Tower. Also for several days before the trip our 6 years old son had a wiggly tooth and when we were on the top of Eiffel Tower he lost his tooth. He was the happiest kid around!
    21:30 - go back to the hotel 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    June 14
    8:00 - wake up
    8:30 - breakfast
    On this day we arranged to have a private tour around Paris. Unfortunately our tour guide had a baby that morning and he rescheduled the tour for the next day. Because on the following day we planned going to Louvre we decided just to switch days in our itinerary. But ... we found out that Louvre was closed on Tuesdays. So we decided just to explore Paris.
    9:45 - ice cream
    10:00 - 13:00 - private tour around Paris
    Here are the places we visited that day
    • Passed Pompidou museum
    • Went through yard inside of Louvre, where our son thought that he can safely step on water in the fountain and still stay dry. Well, laws of nature did not work the way he wanted.
    • Stayed in Tuileries Garden. It was a very nice playground over there.
    • Stayed in D'Orsay museum for an hour.
    • Stopped at playground, ate ice cream and visited the shop where they sold a lot of delicious sweets, candies, and croissants

    13:30 - lunch
    14:30 - ice cream
    15:00 - Luxembourg Garden, playground, pony, carousel
    17:00 - croissants, ice cream, and other delicious stuff


    18:00 - Seine river tour
    It was very relaxing tour after our day of exploration
    20:00 - dinner
    21:00 - ice cream
    21:30 - go back to the hotel

     

     
     
     


    June 15
    It was the busiest day in Paris 
    8:00 - wake up
    8:30 - breakfast
    9:45 - ice cream
    Because we had a private tour guide that day we changed our plans again.
    10:00 - go to Louvre
    11:00 - 13:00 - Louvre
    10:00 - 13:00 - Private tour guide around Paris
    The final stop was Notre Dame, where we ate crepes. To be honest we were not impressed by Parisian crepes.  
    13:30 - lunch
    14:00 - ice cream
    14:30 - 16:00 - Louvre 
    We prepared our kids what we would see in Louvre months in advance. I planned our route through the museum, so kids would not loose interest and not become bored. There were ten major pieces that we showed them including Venus of Milos, Mona Lisa, Michelangelo statues among others. Within an hour and a half we were done.
    15:00 - 18:30 - playground, go to Montmartre 
    16:00 - 18:00 - visited Arc de Triomphe
    18:00 - 22:00 - went to Montmartre, walked around Montmartre, carousel,  ice cream, playground, went to the hotel
     

    June 16

    After very hectic day we had a very calm schedule
    8:00 - wake up
    8:30 - breakfast
    9:45 - croissants, ice cream, and other delicious stuff
    10:00 - go to D'Orsay
    10:30 - 12:30 - D'Orsay

    10:00 - 12:00 - Luxembourg Garden and playground
    13:00 - lunch

    We had lunch in a restaurant next to Luxembourg Garden. It was very authentic and we were the only tourists in that restaurant. The waiter did not speak English and to demonstrate some menu items he took food from a table next to us to show how it looked.
    14:00 - ice cream
    14:30 - 16:30 - walked around Paris, moved towards railroad station
    17:30 - departed to London by train
