Family and Disabled Traveler Tours
So you’re coming to Paris with the kids, and you’re wondering how you’re going to find fun in the City of Light? Have no fear: French Links Tours has designed special introductory programs for families that include not just visits to the Eiffel Tower, the Orsay Museum and the Louvre, as well as to the city’s major mouments, but also visits to the Doll Museum, the Magic Museum and the hands-on Science Museum with its outstanding planetarium and activities specially-geared to children ages three to twelve. Or perhaps they’ll want to see the Zoo at Vincennes, or the mind-boggling aquarium in the basement of the Museum of African and Oceanic Arts.
We organize exclusive tours which will allow your family to discover parts of Paris not normally open to the public. Our 'Behind the Scenes' tour of the Eiffel Tower allows you into the underground bunker, the machine room and many other secret offices; while our private visit to the Army Museum at the Invalides allows children to get a close-up view of arms and armour dating back to the 13th century.

Outside of Paris they can walk through a minature map of France containing all her major monuments and cities or discover the petting zoo at Versailles. Come summer, we have a selection of children's activities, including amusement parks and carnivals.
Worried about eating and drinking? French Links Tours has scoped out restaurants that are inexpensive and entertaining, yet give kids a chance to discover French food at its best. Homesick for an ice-cream sundae or a muffin or a swimming pool/health club where kids can let off steam? French Links Tours has those answers as well.
