There’s so much to see in Paris and so many sights to enjoy. If you are in Paris with your family, make sure to take them to see the stunning scenes in these highly recommended family attractions.
Ride a Pony at Jardin des Tuileries
If you’re looking for an outdoor activity which your children are rarely taking part in, try letting them ride a horse through Paris’ beautiful Jardin des Tuileries. It would be unusual to see ponies and children march through the park in the middle of Paris, but this pony-riding activity spearheaded by Monsieur et Madame Gascard is very well-known in Paris and children of tourists are often seen here playing with the cute ponies.
Watch a theatre presentation in Le Lucernaire
If you want to learn more about the culture of Paris, the history of France, and the lives of so many prominent European, the best way to see history re-enact itself would be at Le Lucernaire. Le Lucernaire is an educational theatre that presents only interesting and entertaining plays. You can find Le Lucernaire in 3 rue Notre-Dame des champs, 6th Arrondissement.
Watch a puppet play
Children like toys, playing, and watching entertaining presentation. After watching a play at Le Lucernaire, you may also want to head down to Jardin du Luxembourg and find Guignol, a popular puppet show held in the heart of Paris. Guignol’s puppet show is very interesting and children, most of all, will love it.
Shop for old- or vintage toys in La Tortue Electrique
Forget Marche aux Puces and Puces de Saint Ouen and head down to La Tortue Electrique, instead. This is just one of the many shops in Paris where you can find old toys, trinkets, and accessories for yourself or for your home.
La Tortue Electrique is located at 5 rue Frédéric Sauton 75005, Paris.
Eat delicious pastries at La Pâtisserie des Rêves
La Pâtisserie des Rêves is different from all the other patisseries in Paris because its interior will remind you of a giant gingerbread house where everything is edible. In reality, the La Pâtisserie des Rêves is not edible but it surely makes you think that the entire place is made of sugar and candy. Treat your kids to a delicious cupcake; you might also want to have some for yourself. La Patisserie des Reves is located in 93 rue du Bac, 7th Arrondissement.

Mime Schools in Paris
Educational tours are very common in Paris and families who are visiting the city especially during summer vacations and winter breaks are often encouraged to enroll their children in an educational program to make their time in Paris more exciting. There are several tours geared towards children; but some schools, most especially mime and drama schools, hold special short courses geared towards adults who want to study the art of mimodrama.
The mimes which we are more familiar with are often funny looking characters wearing black and white striped suits and their faces painted pale white, but the mimes often found in Paris' top mime schools are actually very different from how they are portrayed in pop culture. Real mimes are not limited to wearing funny clothing and contrary to pop culture, are not limited to street performances.
The life of a mime is actually very fun and exciting, and in Paris, you can find them in stage theaters, as well as in carnivals and museum events. Like most occupations, if you want to become a mime, you must undergo half a year to almost a year of intensive training in a mime school where you where learn playing in stage plays, theaters, and in musical performances. You must also learn the two popular types of mime techniques, namely the Marceau Technique and the Decroux Technique.
There are several mime colleges located in the heart of Paris that are open to foreigners, tourists and foreign exchange students all year round. If you plan to learn the art of miming, these schools are where to learn them:
Ecole Internationale de Mimodrame de Paris Marcel Marceau
