Hi,

Someone posted on another thread that the playround at the Luxembourg Gardens is only open on Weds in Oct.

We will be in Paris mid to late Sept - does anyone know if there are limited hours then? And if so, what are they? I have checked many website and do not see anything that says hours/days are that reduced at certain times of the year (only a one hour difference in closing times beginning in Oct), but know that websites are not always up-to-date. I had hoped to let my kids burn off some steam after our long flight - we arrive on a Sun.

Also, what about the sailing of the little toy boats? Is that only certain days/hours? And the sailing boats and trampolines at the Tuilleries?

Thanks for any help!

i don't know why the playground would only be open on weds. - though that is the day that most french schools are closed. we've been there in november, and it was open every day. closed at sundown.

sorry, i don't know of an official website for the playground or gardens.

Thanks, Melissa, that makes me feel so much better!

I hadn't heard or read on any website about it being closed certain days until this posting a few days ago, so just wanted to double check. We deliberately chose an apt not far from there so we could take the kids over when they need a break from museums, etc.

The Paris Tourist Office site says:

Nursery (2pm to 6pm) from May to mid-September for children of 18 months to 6 years. Recreational park (from 10am) for children from 7 to 12 years. Puppets: Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 2pm. During the school holidays, every day from 4pm.

On Wednesdays and Saturdays, French primary schools get out at mid-day. Sundays there is no school. So, the playground, just follows the schedule of the school. There is a small cost to play there. (I cannot remember how much, but it is minimal). It is worth it... It is our girls' most favorite place in the city of Paris!
