3 teens and 36 hours in Paris- ideas please!

[threeandmeandthedog]

I will be in Paris with my three children age 12,14 and 16 for two nights and one full day next week.

my budget is quite tight- but can afford to do a few things. We are staying in the 13eme. They are all good walkers - they are not bothered by shopping and have specifically requested no art galleries 😂

Any ideas of fun stuff much appreciated. We wanted to visit the catacombs but they are closed on the day we are there.

I was thinking..Eiffel tower at night from a distance, walk around Montmartre. Maybe visit Pere La Chaise… but would really appreciate some other ideas in the mix…

Trocadero?

Paris Plage will be on, may well be something that appeals here

Catch the train to Disney for the day and do the universal studios. Can easily be done in a day.

Some of these also look fun but probably require pre booking

A visit to Laduree ? Looks like the Champs Elysee one is shut for refurbishment but there are others

Ground Control Food Hall if they like street food

Jardin des Plantes - zoo, palaeontology museum, botanical garden (free!), augmented reality exhibitions, virtual reality exhibitions

Parc des Buttes Chaumont - explore

Oops pressed post too soon - explore the Grotto and waterfalls plus the Temple if they’re open, although they might still be closed for safety

Go up the Tour Montpasse for a great view of the city

Musee des Arts et Metiers - free for kids

L’As du Falafel for great value falafel

Paris Sewer Museum

Musee de Carnavalet - free

Boat hire at Le Bassin de La Villette

FlyView Paris - virtual reality tours

Chateau du Vincennes

Jardin d’Acclimatation - amusement park

Ferris wheel at Jardin des Tuileries

Mine quite liked walking down the Champs-Elysees from Arc de Triomphe looking at the shops and we did a boat trip which was quite fun. They liked Monmatre and feeding the sparrows at Notre Dame.

Brilliant suggestions- thanks for all these- will show them the links and make a plan.

if it was just me would happily just mooch around all day and do some people watching, but will have to up my game.
