Paris with Children

A. Lacroix Pâtissier

One of Colleen's favorites, just across the river from Notre Dame Cathedral.  Everything here looks like art, but their famous Apple Patisserie is amazing. (Try their Ham & Cheese Croissant too.) 

One of the best family picks - a patisserie shop close to Notre Dame with family friendly staff and changing tables!
