Where the day starts
Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Canal Saint-Martin and Montmartre all have cafés made for a first meeting. Choose the one nearest the rest of the day; Paris is compact, and the Métro makes most of it twenty minutes apart.
Planning the day
A Paris day has a natural rhythm: a museum in the morning, a long lunch, a walk along the Seine or the canal. Lunch is the main event for many French families, so a family day is often planned around it.

What it costs in Paris
A day in Paris is priced for the country: about $280–$420 for the day itself, before her travel and the day's own costs. The exact price is agreed in writing before you book.
When to book
Spring, early summer and December are busiest; August is quiet as many Parisians leave the city. Two weeks ahead gives the most choice.
Common questions
Does she speak French?
Companions in Paris speak French; ask for English or another language as well if your family needs it.
Can we visit a museum?
Yes. Book timed tickets ahead and include them in the agreed costs.
Is a family lunch in France long?
Often two or three hours. The plan allows for it, and the day still ends at the agreed time.
