Before you go

What the guide flags for families.

Metro stairs and cobbles make strollers hard: a carrier or a compact stroller helps. (Kids)
Parks and gardens (Luxembourg, Tuileries, Jardin d'Acclimatation) are the best breaks; many have playgrounds and old carousels. (Kids)
Timed slots matter with children: book museums for the first slot and leave by lunch. (Kids)
