Watching our two see the Eiffel Tower light up for the first time was worth the entire holiday on its own. They stood frozen on the grass, and honestly so did we, phones forgotten for once.
TGV rides between cities were smooth and the kids honestly enjoyed the train journeys almost as much as the destinations themselves.
Watching my kids see the Eiffel Tower light up for the first time was worth this whole trip by itself.
Restaurant options near our Paris hotel were surprisingly expensive for basic meals, we ended up spending more than planned just on dinners for four. Everything else about the France itinerary was well thought out for a family.
Marseille views from Notre Dame de la Garde had the whole family, grandparents included, just standing there taking photos for ages.
The traboules of Lyon were the unexpected star. By the final afternoon our kids were the ones leading, ducking through hidden passageways and shouting for us to keep up. Nine nights across four cities, and that quiet discovery beat every big landmark for them.
