Hi Travleing with my 17 yr old son , my dad and aunt - very active seniors in their 70's. Has any one taken the Paris Ghosts and Vampires tour - it leaves from Notre Dame at 8:30 PM? In the past, we have found these to be fun and informative. Also looking for suggestions for something for my aunt and dad to do while we are on the Fat Bike tour at night.
Thanks

If your son likes haunted houses (American style), there is one that is now in the house that formerly was the Baccaret Museum on Rue de Paradis. It has 13+ tales of horror - though as mentioned, similar to what we have in the States at Halloween. I thought it was a bit high for the cost, as I could have gone to a museum for less. But both my sister and I thought, our niece and my kids might enjoy it. They do give the "tour" in English. I think I would have preferred a nighttime tour.

Dad and aunt can visit Orsay or Louvre one evening, a lot less crowded then during the day. They are both open one or two evenings a week so check their websites. They close at 9:30 , and by that time many active seniors are happy to retire for the evening after spending an entire day sight seeing...( I don't mean go to bed at 9:30 , but after a leisurly walk back to hotel, and perhaps a nightcap on the way, they may be quite happy to be back in room by 10:30-11 . They could also take a boat cruise, its only an hour but they run all evening.
