A Few of my Favorite Fall Things - Paris Edition

I love Paris year round, but autumn in Paris packs a little extra magic. It is, in my opinion, the best time to visit and was always my favorite time of year while living in Paris. Thinning crowds, glowing sunsets, changing leaves along the boulevards, the smell of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts, and the excuse to spend hours reading in cozy corners of French cafés... need I say more?

Save this for the next time you are visiting Paris September - November as a starting point for how to soak up the best of autumn in Paris.

Spending only a weekend in Paris with your kids? AWESOME! Get ready for some epic fun, delicious food, and some nice down time, too.  

A big tip for your weekend Parisian trip: don't pack too much into your days. It’s easy to want to see and do alllllll the things, but it’s just not possible in a short amount of time, especially with little ones.

So here’s my best advice: pick two or three must-sees “high attraction” things to do in Paris with your kids for your whole weekend and then go from there. That’s it; don’t overdo it.

Then, pick one or two of those to see/do per day. Anything else you have time for will be a cherry on top.

Weekend in Paris

This is the exact itinerary I put together for my wife and I during our first Eurotrip. Paris was our second stop from starting in London. Why no Louvre? You could spend an entire day there to appreciate all of the art and given our limited time I thought it best to save the Louvre for a return trip when the weather wasn't as nice. I used my network of people who have lived in Paris and visited before to curate the ultimate first Paris trip.

Pro Tip: I loved traveling in May for our Eurotrip. The weather was perfect the entire time and the cost is significantly cheaper than traveling in the peak summer season.

What's Included in this Guide?
*Recommendations on where to stay and eat
*Key sights to see for your 1st time
*Guidance on how to get around
*Day trip to Versailles
*An Unforgettable Experience

Paris with Children

I've traveled to Paris more than 10x in the last decade. I didn't particularly enjoy the city on my first visit but it has somehow drawn me back many times! My first recommendation is to follow the example of the French - don't attempt to see everything in one day but take time to sit at a cafe and/or restaurant, people-watch, and rest your feet! 

Paris Guide

Step into the dazzling world of Louis XIV, the Sun King, whose reign defined an era of unparalleled opulence and artistic achievement. This 7-day odyssey invites you to walk in the footsteps of France's longest-reigning monarch, immersing yourself in the grandeur of the 17th century.

From the moment you set foot in Paris, you'll be transported to a time of powdered wigs, gilded carriages, and intricate court etiquette. Wander through the Louvre's Apollo Gallery, where the young king once danced in ballet performances. Stand in awe before the magnificent dome of Les Invalides, a testament to Louis' military ambitions.

But it's at Versailles where the Sun King's vision truly comes to life. Lose yourself in the Hall of Mirrors, where courtiers once vied for the king's favor. Stroll through gardens so vast they seem to touch the horizon, designed to showcase the monarch's dominion over nature itself. 

Venture beyond to Vaux-le-Vicomte, the château that inspired—and perhaps threatened—the king, sparking his desire to build Versailles. End your journey at Marly and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, more intimate royal retreats that reveal the man behind the crown.

This is more than an itinerary—it's a journey through the heart of French history, art, and culture. You'll dine like royalty, sleep in sumptuous hotels fit for a monarch, and gain unparalleled insights into the Age of Absolutism.

Join us on this unforgettable adventure and discover why, centuries later, the Sun King's light still shines bright over France.
