WITH KIDS
Musée Picasso
— You’ll never have enough time to fully appreciate the diversity and magnitude of art in this museum. But do go along with the kids there’s a wonderful garden with sculptures and cafe serving very healthy food. There are many stairs throughout this museum so no strollers are permitted

The Catacombs of Paris
— If you’re into bones and skeletons this one might appeal, particularly to teenage boys and their dads. Over 5-6 million people are buried (don’t worry no flesh) in ancient burial grounds. I think they ran out of space. Lots of underground tunnels above famous Paris streets.

1 ave du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy
The Cine Aqua
— Learn, eat, watch and interact with marine life. As far as acquariums go this one is well designed and interesting. If you’re kids are into nature documents there are about four regular documentaries screening each hour. Every Wed, Sat and Sunday there are free movie shows at 3.30pm. Its expensive for an aqarium but if it’s a rainy day and you feel like passing the time away its worth a visit, there are 41 fish tanks with numerous French species. M: Trocadero
