Alternate observation and garden breaks

The four stops are options, not a compulsory programme. Adapt them to the children’s ages and the time they want to spend outdoors.

A shorter version

A half-day can focus on Jardin des Plantes and the islands, or Tuileries and Palais-Royal. Choose just one cross-city movement.
