I'm a Mom in Paris—and These Are My 11 Must-visit Spots With Kids in the City of Light
Paris is a city that travelers often approach with high expectations. From world-class dining and renowned museums to picturesque parks and charming cafes, it's easy to feel overwhelmed when planning a trip—especially with kids in tow. As an American mom of a toddler and a 5-year-old, married to a native Parisian, I've learned how to explore the City of Light at a leisurely pace the entire family can enjoy. While Paris offers countless experiences that delight visitors of all ages, these 11 spots are our family's trusted favorites, places where both little ones and grown-ups can savor the true spirit of the city. An exhibit inside Musee Rodin. Leopoldine Bauer/Travel + Leisure Located on Paris's Left Bank, this intimate museum showcases the works of sculptor Auguste Rodin—most notably The Thinker. In addition to its acclaimed collection, the property features beautifully manicured sculpture gardens and an on-site cafe, perfect for a casual coffee or an ice cream break. The museum offers a year-round calendar of family-friendly events, such as the chasse aux œufs (Easter egg hunt), where our daughter delighted in collecting eggs throughout the gardens in exchange for chocolates. A current highlight for families is L'Atelier Rodin, a dedicated space where children of all ages can explore the art of sculpture through hands-on activities.

RICCARDO MILANI/Hans Lucas/AFP via Getty Images There's always a captivating exhibition or event to discover at the architecturally stunning Grand Palais. Our family has enjoyed attending a variety of seasonal happenings, from ice skating at Le Grand Palais des Glaces to the Festival du Livre de Paris, which brings together hundreds of authors and publishers. The Children's Palace recently debuted its very first exhibition, "Transparence," a sensory journey exploring the concept of transparency through science and art, on view until Aug. 2027. In addition to this must-see exhibition, the Grand Palais is home to two expansive spaces dedicated to play and curiosity, including Le Salon Seine—a family-friendly area with interactive art, creative games, a collaborative mural, and a cafe. A quick note for families with event tickets: Be prepared for long lines at the entrance, even if you've purchased tickets in advance. The exterior of Foundation Louis Vuitton. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure A standout destination beloved by visitors of all ages, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is a contemporary art museum and cultural center celebrated as an architectural icon. The "David Hockney 25" exhibition is currently stealing the spotlight until Aug. 2025, accompanied by an art workshop designed for children ages 6-10 and their families. After your visit, let your little ones burn off some energy in the vast Bois de Boulogne park that surrounds the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Be sure to check the museum's annual programming, which includes popular events like Nuit des Musées and the Family Festival, among others. Greenscape of Jardin d'Acclimatation. Maddy Odom/Travel + Leisure For families seeking the thrill of an amusement park without committing to a full day at Disneyland, the Jardin d'Acclimatation is an ideal alternative, located within minutes of the Fondation Louis Vuitton. This destination is a true Parisian institution, adored by locals and visitors alike for its wide range of attractions, from roller coasters and carnival-style games to an educational farm with hands-on animal encounters. My husband loves bringing our kids here with his family, sharing the magic of his own childhood visits across generations. Leave it to Paris to offer an amusement park experience that's genuinely enjoyable. Exterior of a greenhosue in Jardin des Plantes. Leopoldine Bauer/Travel + Leisure Paris is home to an impressive collection of parks and gardens, like the Jardin du Luxembourg and Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, but we always find ourselves returning to the Jardin des Plantes, nestled in the city's 5th arrondissement. Take your time exploring the gardens, including the greenhouses, which are noteworthy even when the blooms aren't at their peak. Inside the gates, you'll also find La Ménagerie (the zoo) and several museums, including the well-known Grande Galerie de l'Évolution. You could easily spend an entire day discovering the Jardin des Plantes—a place sure to spark the curiosity of every family member. Scenes from the playground at Jardin Catherine‑Labouré. Maddy Odom/Travel + Leisure One of the reasons I love raising kids in Paris is the fact that you can find a park or playground on nearly every block. We're lucky to have several options scattered throughout our arrondissement, but this quaint jardin (garden), just minutes from Le Bon Marché, has become a regular escape for our family. Tucked off Rue de Babylone, it's easy to miss if you don't know it's there—but step inside and you'll find a well-maintained playground, a green space for lounging, and benches situated beneath leafy vines, ideal for reading. This hidden gem provides a welcome pause from the bustle just beyond the park's edge. Interior shots of Chantelivre. Maddy Odom/Travel + Leisure Browsing for books is a simple yet extremely satisfying way to spend an hour (or two) in Paris. We're spoiled by the abundance of charming bookshops in Paris—like Chantelivre on Rue de Sèvres, a delightful spot known for its curated selection of children's literature. With cozy reading nooks in a newly renovated space, this bookshop is also home to La Maison des Histoires, an interactive musée jouer (play museum) inspired by classic children's books designed with young kids in mind. Grab a coffee and pastry at the cafe before settling into story time. Making pizza at Oobatz. What kid (and adult) doesn't love a good slice of pizza and a pizzookie (cookie topped with ice cream) for a decadent dessert? Located in Paris's 11th arrondissement, Oobatz is serving up slices the whole city seems to be talking about. While the restaurant itself is quite intimate, it accepts reservations and opens for dinner service at 6 p.m.—much earlier than many other Parisian establishments. In other words, it's deal for a laid-back family meal—just don't forget to book your table ahead of time. A table full of food in HolyBelly. When it comes to brunch in Paris, HolyBelly is a family-run favorite, best known for its seriously good pancakes in the 10th arrondissement. While we don't make it here as often as our little ones (or we) would like, we recently hopped on the metro for a weekend visit—and it's always well worth the trip. HolyBelly doesn't take reservations, so it's best to plan ahead. On weekends, we aim to get there right at opening (9 a.m.) to beat the crowd, while weekdays are typically more relaxed. If there happens to be a line, it tends to move quickly. One unexpected perk: The lively environment easily absorbs toddler chaos, so there's no need to stress about noise here. Delicious treats from Plaq. Maddy Odom/Travel + Leisure Hot chocolate is another beloved Parisian specialty, with iconic spots like Angelina, Carette, and Les Deux Magots earning reputations for some of the best cups in town. But Plaq offers a distinctly different experience. With their bean-to-bar philosophy, they oversee every step of the process, from sourcing the cocoa beans to crafting each final creation. They now have two locations in Paris, including their newest outpost on Rue du Cherche-Midi. There, you'll find an exciting selection of treats, including their signature chocolate bars, seasonal specialties like ice cream in the warmer months, or a personal favorite: hot chocolate topped with chantilly when the weather turns cold. A close up of an ice cream cone from Cafe Isaka. Maddy Odom/Travel + Leisure Inspired by the flavors of Asia, Café Isaka brings a playful twist to typical artisanal ice cream you might find elsewhere. Tucked in the heart of Paris's 1st arrondissement, it's a charming stop for a refreshing pause amid a day of wandering the city. Whether you're craving a classic scoop or curious to try their signature fried ice cream, there's something on the menu to satisfy every sweet tooth. Grab your treat and stroll over to the nearby Palais-Royal to enjoy it among the gardens.

'The Sound of Music' child star shares the secret to cast's 60-year friendship
The hills are alive – with the sound of a reunion. The former child stars of "The Sound of Music," who have remained friends for 60 years, recently reunited in Florence, Italy. Kym Karath, who played the youngest von Trapp sibling, Gretl, shared photos of the group catching up and enjoying bottles of wine on her Instagram. "The Sound of Music in Florence – the five of us!" the 66-year-old captioned a group photo. In the snap, Karath appeared alongside Nicholas Hammond, 75, who played the eldest von Trapp son, Friedrich; Duane Chase, 74, who played Kurt; Angela Cartwright, 72, who played Brigitta; and Debbie Turner, 68, who played Marta. It was a bittersweet reunion for the pals. Heather Menzies-Urich, who played Louisa, died in 2017 at the age of 68. Charmian Carr, who was the eldest sibling Liesl, passed away in 2016 at age 73. Christopher Plummer, who played the family patriarch Captain von Trapp, died in 2021 at the age of 91. "Celebrating together in Florence with all my film siblings was a complete delight," Karath told Fox News Digital. "Being together, the five of us, in one of the most beautiful cities, Florence, and appearing in the breathtaking historic theater Teatro Niccolini, built in 1648, was absolutely magical," she gushed. "The press was wonderful, and the fans were overwhelmingly warm and enthusiastic." Karath said it's a no-brainer that the castmates have remained close over the years. "I think the secret behind our friendship is the secret of all enduring friendships, although ours started at a film studio; staying close, loyal, and being there for one another," the actress explained. "As for the film's enduring appeal, beyond the soaring melodies and beautiful locations, it is the story of a real family who loved one another and were truly courageous." "The Sound of Music" premiered on March 2, 1965. The Oscar-winning film was inspired by the real-life von Trapp family that fled Austria to escape the Nazi regime. It tells the tale of a 1930s governess who watches over the large family and their widowed father, with the help of music. Descendants of the von Trapp family now run the von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort in Vermont. "Here is a little-known fact - the film family is friends with the real family," said Karath. "I just had a wonderful conversation with Elizabeth von Trapp, Werner's daughter. Werner was portrayed by Duane Chase… and they became friends. When Werner passed away, he left Duane his beautiful Austrian jacket." There's also one good reason why the cast enjoyed an Italian getaway. "We are currently working on a documentary and filmed [it] while we were in Florence together!" she teased. The actress was just three years old when she was scouted while having a cheeseburger at her father's restaurant in California. However, Karath's claim to fame was the film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music." Karath previously told Fox News Digital that being on the set in Salzburg was "spellbinding." "One of the best things about that movie for me was becoming a family," Karath explained. "And we did become one in real life. And being in Salzburg, Austria, I think, started my profound love of Europe and history. [But] it was not a fun thing missing my father and brother. But my sister and mother were with me. And our group really became a family, which was wonderful." The film's leading lady, Julie Andrews, quickly developed a close-knit bond with the child actors. The star, now 86, went on to win a Golden Globe and received an Academy Award nomination for her performance as Maria. Karath described the actress as "a gift." WATCH: 'THE SOUND OF MUSIC' ACTRESS KYM KARATH RECALLS CLOSE BOND WITH JULIE ANDREWS, WHY SHE 'FLED' HOLLYWOOD "I loved her from the minute I met her," she gushed. "There is never a bad moment with Julie Andrews – never. She's just the sweetest, most unbelievable, talented, brilliant human… I think we all have the same favorite memory to some extent. That was when she took out her guitar and she just sang to us. And she would have us sing with her in between the scenes to amuse us, to entertain us, to make the time pass. She was a pure delight." Plummer did not offer the same warm and fuzzy feeling, she said. "At the time, he was kind of standoffish," Karath admitted. "Very handsome, but I really wasn't noticing men being handsome at [age] five – actually let me correct myself. I noticed that George Chakiris was handsome when he was in 'West Side Story.'" But that all changed decades later. "There was an event for 9/11 at the Westport Country Playhouse… I went backstage to see him, and he was waiting for me. Paul Newman was the master of ceremonies. He and [his wife] Joanne Woodward grabbed me backstage and said, 'Your father's been pacing the floor, he's dying to see you!'… Such a lovely man. So courtly, charming and funny. Truly delightful."

References Take Over Fashion As The New... New
Sarah Jessica Parker, as Carrie Bradshaw, and Chris Noth, Mr. Big, filming a scene for Sex & the City in New York City. (Photo by Lawrence Schwartzwald/Sygma via Getty Images) Getty Images So Jenna Ortega wore Carrie Bradshaw's Dior newspaper dress, what's the big deal? Recycled looks on the red carpet, the infiltration of nostalgia-based marketing and fashion's biggest brands plucking design inspiration from well-loved collections and individuals for the runway—these are just a few examples of contexts in which reference has become the new normal for modern fashion. Now, despite the current era of fashion becoming increasingly defined by individualism and originality in response to the rise in artificial technology advancements, an oversaturation of the industry and a complete commoditization of the market , these referential nods to cultural touchstones are not seen by audiences as lazy or copied, but rather indicate a sense of authority, knowledge and taste that could only be possessed—satirically speaking, of course—by 'in the know' individuals and true fans of the iconicized originals. So, under these unique conditions and in spite of more logical assumptions based on the harsh critique usually accompanied by designs that are eerily similar to already existing versions and celebrities peacocking on the red carpet in historically significant garments, how did subtle nods to fashion's past take over as the industry's go-to? 'References in fashion aren't a new concept by any means,' said Ari Arvand, a New York-based freelance stylist and costume designer who often posts fashion commentary videos on social media under the username @grrrlbossbabe, in an interview. 'On the one hand, Gen Z values references and will be more impressed with a look knowing its history,' she said. 'On the other hand, it's an easy cop-out for stylists to generate publicity for their work instead of coming up with something new. When a celebrity attaches themselves to a beloved figure or look, it boosts their image through association. By doing so, they're guaranteed virality and articles praising the reference.' Arvand continued, attributing the trend within the fashion industry to a larger shift of generational interests in response to stressful environmental factors, saying, 'Fashion is a mirror of culture, and the industry's obsession with references speaks to a larger cultural shift in society. It's present in all the media we consume and is part of Gen Z's language and humor. Because of the political state of the world, many are looking back fondly to the past as a form of escapism. It's easier to focus on that than to accept our current reality.' However, despite the persistently positive consumer response regarding this phenomenon, the beginnings of an objection was recently articulated by Ayo Ojo, a popular online fashion critique and analyst who posts content on several social media platforms under the username @fashionroadman. In a post that was shared on both X and Instagram, Ojo asked his audience, in reference to Johnathan Anderson's highly praised debut collection as the new creative director of Dior—a show which not only pulled from techniques and fabrication originally crafted by the brand's namesake founder, but from the styling of socially iconic individuals like Jean-Michel Basquiat, among others—'Does referencing the archives automatically make a collection good?' In an interview with Emily Huggard, professor of fashion communication at Parsons School of Design and author of the book C ommunicating Fashion Brands: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives , the academic pondered the question and shared her response. 'I would say absolutely not,' she said, explaining how Dior is tapping into older collections with precision, making sure not to overstep. 'Brand defenders like Jonathan Anderson... they use references not to recreate, but to recontextualize the current moment. He's telling the larger story around changing the brand, and through these sort of subtle or non subtle messages.' Huggard continued, citing references as a strategic way creative direction can be geared towards a multigenerational audience, but warning against the negative implications of relying on them too heavily. 'I think it sort of risks being surface level at some at some point, right?' she said. 'It's like, yes, it's beautiful, and it's referencing the past, and it's taking these classic shapes, but is there anything deeper to it? There has to be some sort of engagement with what's happening in the world and what people care about as well. It's not just social capital, but also cultural capital of the moment.' Similarly, Arvand argues while interesting for audiences, the use of reference often limits space for new narratives. 'The problem with today's references is that they are moreso direct copies instead of a starting point of inspiration. When a reference isn't thoughtfully executed, it also dilutes the original meaning of the piece.' Looking critically at this trend, it's inevitable to wonder just how far, and in what direction—especially in this unprecedented territory—the pendulum will swing as reference becomes a key building block for brands, stylists and marketers to shape narratives and entice consumers. In a study preformed by Sprout Social, the social media management platform found that 57% of U.S. consumers are more likely to increase their spending when shopping with a brand they feel connected to. This statistic, among other, only incentivizes brands to adhere to reference-based business practices as consumers continue to crave emotional connection from the businesses they support financially. However, in the wake of the trends rapid growth, individuals like Arvand remain persistently weary. 'I do think the hyper-focus on nostalgia and references is hurting the fashion industry creatively,' she said. 'Financially, it's an extremely profitable market, which is why the trend hasn't died down and won't any time soon. Regardless, fashion is an important form of storytelling. How can we come up with fresh concepts if we're constantly borrowing from the past?'
