Traveling to Paris in February with 3 children

We are going to Paris next month for 1 week. We are staying at the Marriott resort in Ile de France. I have 3 teenages. We will do Disney for a couple of days, but looking for suggestions on other things to do. Places to see, day trips(we are renting a car), Places to eat that kids would enjoy as well.



This is our first trip to Paris, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

We were with 3 teens and hired the services of Michael Osman (search) for 3 full 9 hour days. He cost about $100 per day and lunch/tip and was worth every penny. The teens loved him and loved hearing and seeing history/art. Teens need a little structure, otherwise they can get tired and bored. We told Michael what we wanted to do, then he took us all over Paris to churches, museums, food shops, markets, on and on and on. The teens learned so much that they were on their own after that, knowing how to use the metro/buses, where to go, where to shop. You can e-mail Michael and he will meet you almost anywhere and take you almost anywhere. He books up early.

How was the hotel? Are there restaurants near by and is it within walking distance.

A great %26quot;boy%26quot; activity would be the catacombs:

Skeltons, skulls, all the gory stuff.





Teen boys would probably LOVE to do a Segway tour of Paris
