Most family sightseeing tours are designed for adults with activities added for children. This experience is designed around the whole family playing together.
Instead of simply listening to a guide, you'll solve clues, search for architectural details, complete photo challenges and discover hidden corners of Paris. History becomes part of the game rather than a classroom lesson.
The experience then moves from discovery to creation with a hands-on macaron workshop before ending with a €50 Galeries Lafayette Gourmet reward that lets your family choose its own French food adventure.
It's part treasure hunt, part Paris history discovery, part pastry workshop and part gourmet adventure — giving families something to do together rather than simply something to see.
What's Included

Meeting point : Cadet metro (line 7) close to the McDonalds. The McDonalds address is 65 Rue La Fayette, 75009 Paris, France
Explore Le Gourmet and use your reward to create the family's own French tasting adventure.

2Galerie Vivienne
Step into one of Paris's most beautiful historic galleries. Look down and search for the extraordinary mosaic floor before turning your eyes upwards towards the elegant glass roof.

5Passage Verdeau
Enter a quieter and wonderfully atmospheric world of books, prints, photographs, postcards, art and collectors. Your mission is simple: Find three objects that appear to belong to another era. Then tackle one of the adventure's biggest questions: Why did some of Paris's passages survive while others disappeared? There isn't always one correct answer. Sometimes the youngest explorer may have the smartest theory.
