Hello,
My family(myself, husband, kids; 8,6,4) and I are fortunate enough to be staying in Eindhoven for the month, for my husband's work. The kids and I will be doing a lot of day trips and generally exploring the Netherlands . Next weekend we are all driving to Paris. Any recommendations for places of interest to stop along the way? And where to stay in Paris? The kids want to see the Eiffel Tower but other than that are there any must see/eat/do for 3 days. I haven't been in 20 years and back then it was just myself and a backpack. Thanks, any help appreciated

What to see in Paris, where to begin?Sart with the Champs-Élysées
But, where are you straying? And have you checked about parking? I would not stay outside the city proper, as the travelling in each day would be too tiring. But, hotels inn Paris rarely have parking, and all parking has to be paid for, Off course a car is useless for travelling around Paris.
I would also question why you are driving. A high speed train (Thalys) will be quicker and deposit you in the city.

Chris F,
Thanks for your reply. We are driving because we would like to stop along the way and check out some towns or things of interest between Eindhoven and Paris. Thanks for the heads up about parking, we will consider that when booking.

Check for the so-called vignet Crit’Air which seems to be necessary to enter the city centre with your car.
