Hi,
We'll be in Paris late November with two middle teens. I know certain museums are open certain nights. Dinner and holiday lights or fairs as another option plus shopping.
Any suggestions for other activities provided the weather is ok? Should I be planning more active visible activities during the daylight and save museums for night?
Thanks!
Doesn’t this kind of depend on the teens? When I was a teen I would have adored spending evenings in museums. My brother would have chosen to see a live band somewhere, ot a street party. And all of my girl cousins would have squealed with delight and excitement if they’d been given the opportunity to hang out in the Westfield mall at Les Halles for a few hours (that place is teenager central ;-)
Why not dial up Time Out or another online Paris guide and let them choose!
Only you can gage what interest your kids. I highly doubt they'll come back from Paris saying they were bored out of their minds. This could possibly be a marking trip for them making them fall in love with art and architecture.
There is a comedy show in English in the Faubourg Montmartre area called "How to become a Parisian in 1 Hour" that is pretty good. You could find a restaurant in the area (Bouillon Chartier, for example), walk through some of the covered passageways, and the go to the show.
If it were my teen, we'd be at the Louvre every chance she could get. Wednesday and Friday are their evenings open late. Not all museums are open late though.
Notre Dame towers at dark if you can get tickets. We went a few weeks ago.
Thank you all! The subtext is not spending each night in a hotel on devices!
Comedy show sounds great! I'll see about Louvre at night instead of day.
