Family Friendly Dining in Paris
Family-Friendly Restaurants in Paris for
Holiday Gatherings
Hi there! Jakki from Prince Adventures here. I know how important it is to find the perfect spot for a family dinner, especially around the holiday season. Paris has a wonderful selection of family-friendly restaurants that cater to all tastes and budgets.
I have visited France many times, sent dozens of travellers over the years and most trips to France begin or end in Paris. I first visited from Canada when I was only 14 on a French Exchange program. I fell in love with the Alps region near Chamonix and have noted Paris as on of my favourite cities in the globe ever since.
Personally, I like to skip making dinner reservations before I go on vacation, opting instead to choose from recommendations form my hotel concierge or discovering local spots I pass while walking a city.
