Family Itinerary: London and Paris

London and Paris is a top combo for families venturing to Europe for the first time with toddlers and grade school age kids. The Chunnel ( an underground high-speed train) easily connects the two cities in 2 hours. Also for the ease of a first trip to Europe, many U.S. airports have nonstops to both Paris and London. Take a look at this family itinerary to see a sample of highlights for our client’s recent trip. Each trip is customized to the budget and specific preferences of our clients.

With a combined 18 kids on our team, we truly understand what it means to travel with kids. We have worked to solve all the pain points and anxieties surrounding a trip abroad with little ones. We know the best connecting rooms and family suites, we know the kid-friendly activities that will keep even the teens engaged, and we know when to tell you you’ve packed in too much and are asking for a meltdown.

     

This family worked with one of our European specialist travel advisors to craft a truly magical escape to London and Paris—and their kids are still talking about it.

We choose boutique properties in Mayfair and Saint-Germain-des-Pres that we know offer family rooms and have kid-friendly amenities. We also like these two neighborhoods for the walkability factor in large cities.

From zipping through London in Mini Coopers to solving riddles on a scavenger hunt through the Louvre, every moment was packed with play and wonder. A top favorite activity in Paris for kids is the pastry making class. While in London, grade school age kids love a day trip to Harry Potter World just outside the city. This family enjoyed the Willy Wonka themed high tea and the Matilda musical for cultural events in London.

         

These kiddos and their parents weren’t just tourists—they were detectives, explorers, and adventurers. And best of all? The parents got to relax, knowing that everything was perfectly planned.

Ready to eliminate the stress and enjoy a perfect family holidays? Our team works hard to know all of the incredible, un-googleable activities that will take your experience to the next level. We even have a short list of Michelin-starred kid friendly restaurants and the best boutiques for chic European kids clothes.
