Paris: breathtaking architecture, the Louvre, kings and queens and guillotines and, of course, wines and cheeses revered around the world. It is no mystery that this is a magical city, but what about Paris with kids?

Did you know there's a climate-controlled, floating swimming pool built right on top of the river Seine? Or what about the park where kids can ride bikes, canoe, and hike? From zoos and Disneyland to pony rides and interactive science centers, this City of Lights almost any form of entertainment you can think of; terrific fodder for family vacations to Paris.

In the five years I lived in there, I discovered hundreds of great things to do in Paris with kids. Even when time is limited, that perfect day is possible. My list includes a fun combination of physical exercise, science, sightseeing, playgrounds and boat rides. Determine the energy level of your family and make your own combination; pick and choose what fits.

(Note that I give the metro stop closest to each place. That's because the stations are excellent landmarks.)

By the way, Gina Misiroglu of Red Room put me in touch with the AOL people, which is one of the great ways she's bringing traffic to Red Room and getting attention for Red Room's authors.
