A beginners guide to Paris please.

I'm going to be in Paris on Friday, Sat and Sunday just before Xmas with a vegetarian teenager and an 11 year old.
Help! We have a hotel booked allegedly 25 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower.
It's a wonderful first world problem but I have no idea what to do or see to make the most of our time. I had no great desire to go but DH is there for work and will join us in the evenings so family friendly suggestions please.

A lot of the museums are currently closed and it is very unclear what will happen over the next couple of weeks. It is volatile situation and people are furious and intent on showing it.
In your position I would try to rearrange for a different date.

I would rearrange it if we could but I can't

Maybe you could spend a day at Disneyland Paris. It would get you away from any action from the rioters. It's amazing with the Christmas decorations.

Just keep an eye on the news. CGT have called for strike action later this week.
It really depends
