Curator’s statement
Paris is always a great option, and it can be very exciting to re-discover it with small children. The city of lights is also a city filled with hidden parks and carnival fairs. It's a city that allows you to enjoy the most delicious hot chocolate and crepes while walking and watching the Eiffel Tour. Its a great place to fuel your child's imagination thru different architecture, museums and artists. It's never a bad time to visit Paris.
