I am planning a family trip to Paris in May. It will be our first trip and I want to find something interesting for all of us. Is there anything that can amuse and delight a 12 year old boy besides the fact that he is in Paris!?

Here are some things my 8 year daughter enjoyed that are "boyish": <BR>The Conciergerie (prison within walking distance to Notre Dame) <BR>The suit of Armor Museum (I'm sure someone will be glad to give you name and location) <BR>The top of Arch de Triumph (we were too chicken to go to top of Eiffel tower) <BR>Riding the metro (especially line 6 because it goes outside and above the ground) <BR>Kindereggs (chocolate candy with treat inside) <BR>wearing the headphones at the Louvre <BR> <BR>If I think of others, I'll post again. <BR>

The Museum of the Sewers <BR>

Hi <BR>My Paris file has some suggestions for kids; if you'd like to have it, email me

Hi Marina, <BR> <BR>Your son will probably like the catacombs. Here's the URL for a virtual tour: <BR> <BR>http://triggur.org/cata/ <BR> <BR>Adrienne <BR>

My son is younger--only 7. The most successful afternoon we had in Paris was the visit to Notre Dame (he had seen both the Disney Huntchback movie and an old B&W version of the story, so he was interested in seeing the real building) followed by a walk around the island, ending at Berthillon ice cream.
