Family-friendly areas
The 7th has the Champ de Mars lawns; the 6th has the Luxembourg Gardens with a playground and pony rides; the 15th has larger, cheaper apartment hotels.
Getting around
Many metro stations have stairs but no lifts. Strollers are easier on buses and trams. Children under 4 travel free on public transport, and children aged 4 to 9 pay the reduced fare.
What to look for
Family rooms are rare in older Paris hotels, so check room sizes and whether extra beds are allowed. Aparthotels can be better value.
