By moving away from screens, the tours encourage children to observe and understand the urban environment, transforming a typical city walk into an original cultural activity.
The itinerary includes varied topics such as "Il était un petit bateau," focusing on Paris's colors and visual identity, "Dis, c'est quoi le 'Stritarte'?" for young fans of urban art, and "Si l'eau m'était contée…," which explores the history of water in the city. These sessions are led by experienced guides who know how to capture the attention of young visitors.
Tickets are priced at 25 euros for a base pair of one child and one adult, with an additional fee of 12 euros for each extra child or adult. It is mandatory for an adult to stay with the child at all times during the visit. Interested families can book their preferred time slot and theme directly on the website.
