My husband, step-son, and I will be visiting Paris in June 2025. My step-son is 28 years old and is very easy-going. On one of the days we are in Paris, my husband and I will attend Roland Garros (The French Open tennis tournament). My step-son isn't a tennis fan, and doesn't really want to spend a whole day at the tournament. I have asked him what he would like to do on the day when we are at the tournament, and he says he'll find something to do. That means, "I'll figure it out when I get there." As I said, he's very easy-going.
Experience has taught me to do some research before traveling. When I very first started traveling, if I visited a location without doing any research first, I would find out about some activity or site after I'd left, and would have the feeling of wishing I would have known about it so I could have seen it. I don't want him to waste a day or miss out on something he would have liked to do.
My husband and I have visited Paris before, but this will be my step-son's first time to Europe. I'd like to suggest some ideas for him, but other than a show at the Moulin Rouge, I'm coming up short. We will be taking him to all of the major sites, so I'd like to offer him some ideas of something that is not a top attraction since we're doing all those together.
Is there an activity or attraction that you would suggest for him? For those of you who have been to Paris with similar aged kids, what was something that they enjoyed? He'll have pretty much all day on his own. I accept the fact that he is not a planner and researcher like I am. If he truly wants to figure it out when he gets there, that's OK. But giving him some ideas won't hurt.
