If you are traveling with children, do not think you will find it difficult to keep them entertained – you may be surprised by just how much Paris has to offer them. Day trips to Paris from London are sure to captivate and enrapture adults and children alike. Paris teems with child-friendly attractions, and the most renowned attraction is, of course, none other than Disneyland.

London, England -- (SBWire) -- 09/08/2011 --There are several carousels dotted about the city, to give a little enchanting boost to any day out. ‘CinéAqua - The Trocadéro Aquarium’ boasts an astounding 9,000 fish. Be awed, children and adults alike, by the dinosaur museum situated in the Jardin du Plantes. Disneyland’s reputation speaks for itself: it is world-renowned, and has been delighting children for decades. For a refreshing alternative to Disneyland, why not have a day out to the decidedly Gallic Parc Asterix, the second largest theme park in France?

Perhaps you have a desire to explore the illustrious museums of Paris by London Bus Tours, to peruse their cultural artifacts and treasures? Gratify your appetite for modern art at the Pompidou Centre, containing as it does works by masters such as Matisse and Modigliani. The Musee d’Orsay holds an immense collection of impressionist, as well as post-impressionist, art, from Degas to Monet.

You will wish to extend your sightseeing to the impressive architectural monuments of Paris, and a visit to the Eiffel Tower is a must. It is difficult to believe that the tower, built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 World Exposition, was in fact terribly disliked by the Parisian population when it was initially revealed. The Arc de Triomphe, like the Eiffel Tower, allows for striking views over the city. A visit to Notre Dame, the cathedral that famously took over 100 years to complete, is essential on any Day Trip to Paris.

The Pere Lachaise Cemetery is one of the most notable and celebrated cemeteries in the world, housing as it does the graves of an eclectic range of eminent public figures. The grave that has been visited most is undoubtedly that of Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, and someone who has had an almost martyr-like adulation conferred onto him since his untimely death. Other prominent figures buried there include Moliere, Edith Piaf and the inimitable master of wit, Oscar Wilde. Well worth a visit and one of many top things to do in Paris.
