Paris as a Family: A Bedroom for Each and a Large Table

Coming to Paris with children means looking for a bedroom for each and a room for all, a garden not too far away, a walk home in the evening. Paris, seen at family height.
A family trip to Paris often comes down to details. The time the youngest fall asleep, the distance to the first garden, the table where everyone fits for dinner. The museums and monuments come afterwards. That is why we talk about the apartment first, then the neighbourhood.
A bedroom for each, a room for all
A hotel offers rooms. A family needs something else: doors that close while the children sleep, and a living room where the parents can stay up without whispering. A kitchen for breakfast before the museum, for an improvised snack, for dinner at home on tired evenings.
Our apartments have two to four bedrooms and sleep up to eight guests, depending on the address. Several have as many bathrooms as bedrooms, which makes the mornings simpler. All are air-conditioned, with an equipped kitchen and a table large enough to dine together. A high chair in almost all our apartments, a cot in several of them: tell us your children's ages and we will point you to the apartment that is equipped.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Luxembourg
In the 6th, the Luxembourg garden is the children's natural playground. The large pond where little sailing boats are pushed across the water, the carousel, the playground, the puppet theatre: a whole morning goes by unnoticed. Around it, the streets of the 6th are easy on foot, the pastry shops plentiful, and Pierre Hermé on rue Bonaparte makes a fine reward at the end of the day.

The Upper Marais
In the 3rd, the Upper Marais is a neighbourhood at a child's height. The Square du Temple offers a green pause, the Musée des Arts et Métiers fascinates curious minds with its machines and inventions, and at the Marché des Enfants Rouges everyone can choose their own lunch.
The 2nd, between the passages and the Opéra
The 2nd unfolds like a treasure hunt. The covered passages, the Galerie Vivienne, the Passage des Panoramas, can be explored under glass, even on a rainy day. The Musée Grévin and its waxworks are a few steps from the passages, and the gardens of the Palais-Royal offer a calm space in the very centre.
Before and during the stay
Travelling with children takes a little planning. Our concierge takes care of it with you: an airport transfer on arrival, a restaurant table, a particular request. During the stay, the team can be reached at any hour, and the same point of contact follows you from the first message to departure.
Apartments suited to families are gathered on our Family Apartments page, and our neighbourhood guides introduce each of the quarters where we welcome guests. Everything else is in the collection.
