Pastry Tour Paris

Or you and the child could visit different bakeries/patisseries as you move around Paris letting the kid choose a different pastry each place. Try different breakfast pastries in the morning -- croissant, pan chocolate, suisse, chausson pomme, chausson citron, raisin snail, oranais -- every bakery will have several and some will have interesting and different ones.

Then in the afternoon get dessert pastries for the afternoon snack -- you can carry them to a nearby park or some patisseries have tables -- most don't though. It is a lot of fun to try the different kinds and discover that looks and taste rarely match i.e. some of the tastiest are the most ordinary. Carry a knife and you can cut them in half or thirds and try different ones.

Your child will become a genius at spotting good patisseries quickly.

Agree with Janet. Spread your pastry stops throughout your trip.

There are some macaron making classes for families. Here's one at Galerie Lafayette.
