However, there is a good number of entertainment activities perfectly suited to winter, especially in Paris and Île-de-France where cultural and entertainment events are very rich. For parents looking for where to take their children during the holidays or weekends, this guide presents a selection of outings and activities available in the Paris region.
Outing to the museum: cultural day for the whole family
Paris is not only the administrative and historical capital of France, it is also a place of culture where museums and exhibitions can be found on every street corner. The most difficult task is choosing which museum to visit. The classic Louvre Museum located in the heart of Paris is able to provide a complete experience thanks to its multiple collections and exhibitions.
In the center of Paris, the Grévin Museum propose a series of wax statues representing personalities from around the world. For the most curious, the City of Sciences and Industry of La Villette offers exhibitions for all ages all year round, as well as discovery workshops.
Cultural activities are not limited to museums: Paris offers multiple shows such as theater or dancejust find one that will interest the whole family, and reserve a place in the room.
Indoor activities: indoor sports, escape games and creative workshops
In addition to museums, which sometimes offer their own artistic workshops (the Center Pompidou for example, and the spectacular Atelier des Lumières), multiple places in Paris offer indoor fun, sporting or creative activities.
THE bowlings de rue Mouffetard and de Montparnasse are the most famous in the capital, and welcome teams of friends and family. For fans of more intense sports, a climbing gym seems ideal.
When you are more interested in games than in sports, you can turn to a escape gamea room in which we must solve puzzles to advance in a course, with limited time and a few clues for any help. This type of activity tends to develop cohesion within a team, which is sometimes what a family needs.
If your family prefers quieter activitiesit is still possible to go to movie theater or at restaurantor to search for creative and fun workshops on DIY, painting or cooking. Children particularly like the cooking workshops which immerse them in the heart of the world of pastry or chocolate. It is best to check online reviews of these games and workshops before booking.
Brave the cold and snow: gardens and amusement parks in Île-de-France
The most courageous will put on their scarf and coat to try their hand at outdoor activities. After all, the Luxembourg Gardens and the Parc de Saint-Cloud are very beautiful in winterand we see a lot fewer people there. Val-de-Marne is also rich in parks and invigorating natural spaces.
For a more active day, where you want to take your mind off things, we will head to one of the two major amusement parks in Île-de-France: the Parc Astérix or Disneyland Paris. The first is devoted to the world of the most famous Gaul in France, while the second offers an experience around the world of Disney and its films. Both offer the opportunity to be shaken up in impressive attractions that will appeal more to children than parents.
