Six Must-Do Family Activities in Paris in Autumn

In autumn, both inside and outside of Paris city center are filled with crisp fall air and colorful foliage. The air is fresh and the temperature is just right, making it the perfect time to take your children on an outdoor adventure. Here are some activities that you absolutely cannot miss.

First thing: Stroll through the Paris parks. In late autumn, walking in the park with children, having a picnic, and playing interactive games is a perfect family experience. The best time to visit Luxembourg Gardens is in late autumn: fallen leaves cover the park, and besides walking and enjoying the beautiful natural scenery, the monuments, statues, and fountains are also particularly attractive.

Rambouillet Forest

Second thing: Go mushroom picking in the forest. In autumn, mushrooms in the forest are ripe. Bring your children along to enjoy the fun of labor, and Rambouillet Forest is your best choice. Not only can you find various types of mushrooms in the forest, but you can also see free-ranging sika deer strolling around or making eye contact with people, as well as traditional falconry performances.
Third thing: Explore the theme park. Nothing is more attractive to children than spending time exploring a theme park. In fact, Disneyland Paris is also very fun, with a localized French flair.

National Museum of Natural History

Fourth thing: Visit the museum. Taking children to visit the museum is a good way to learn and have fun at the same time. This museum is listed among the must-visit museums for children in the world. It houses a botanical garden, a zoo, a paleontology gallery, a comparative anatomy gallery, a mineralogy gallery, a paleobotany gallery, an entomology gallery, and a human gallery.

Paris Aquarium

The fifth thing: Visit the aquarium. If children like animals, take them to the aquarium to explore the mysterious underwater world. The Paris Aquarium, built in 1867, is the world's first aquarium, combining leisure, entertainment, ocean, art, music, and film. Some decorative elements are inspired by Jules Verne's novel 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea', giving it a sci-fi and mysterious atmosphere.

Bateaux Mouches

The sixth activity: taking a boat tour on the Seine River. The Seine River is one of the symbols of Paris, with charming scenery along its banks. The best way to explore it is by boat, enjoying the cool autumn breeze and the autumn colors on both sides, which is a great pleasure.
