The Luxembourg Gardens is the largest park in the city. It is also jam packed with activities for kids.

There are daily marionette shows (schedules change frequently, but mostly in the afternoons on weekdays). A classic carousel. A pond where you can float a rented toy boat. Pony rides.

The playground has a 7 Euro entrance fee, but you won't mind when you realize how clean and well maintained everything is (including the sweet child sized restrooms)

Bring a picnic and plan to spend several hours to a half day here.
