If you’re considering coming to Paris for Easter this year, remember that the HPRG collection of hotels loves having families as guests!

We offer rooms big enough for couples with one or two children (for example, at the Hotel Saint-André des Arts and Hotel & Spa la Belle Juliette), or if you prefer the kids to be close by but not in the same room, we can arrange rooms next to each other, sometimes even communicating rooms.

All the info about our rooms for families (and the special efforts we make so your kids have a great stay) can be found here!

But once you have your accommodation booked, what is there to do in Paris for families over Easter? Well, we have a few ideas – chocolate egg hunts and a lot more…

Let’s start with what the museums near our hotels have on offer.

At the Musée d’Orsay there are guided visits (in French of course) of the exhibition Fêtes, loisirs et spectacles, workshops for kids of various ages (de 3-5, 6-8, 9-12…), and a ‘danced’ visit that even English-speaking kids will probably enjoy!

All the info for the Easter 2024 weekend at the Musée d’Orsay can be found here. Just one thing – the museum will be closed Easter Monday (1st April).

The Quai Branly Museum, which is usually closed on a Monday, will however be specially open on Easter Monday!

In addition to the two temporary exhibitions currently on offer, there a Secret Marionettes workshop (3-5 year-olds), a storytim visit for kids 0-3 years old called Maman serpent, a guided visit of the “Shamanic Visions” exhibition (for 12 year-olds +), a Archeology workshop (9 yea-old and +)…

If your kids speak a little French, there are over a dozen different visits and workshops on offer! 🤩 You’ll find all the info here.

And the Rodin Museum has a special “Family Sundays” guided visit of the permanent collection available. Don’t forget to book your spot here.

What can you do though if your children don’t speak enough French or don’t like museums? Well, rest assured there’s a lot more on offer in Paris over Easter weekend!

For example, why not go and check out Deyrolle, an incredible cabinet of curiosities not far from our hotels, with stuffed animals, preserved butterflies and a great bookshop full of interesting stuff!

Entrance is free, and it’s one of Paris’ few lesser-known marvels (we visited it a while ago for the blog – read our article here).

If you want to try a traditional French chocolate egg hunt, we suggest going to the André-Citroën Park on the Sunday or Monday, as it’s there that the Secours Populaire charity organises their annual event (although be warned, apparently there are “several thousands of children and their parents” 😲)

Kids buy an ‘egg-hunting permit’ for a few euros and are then let loose to hunt for eggs. There are also other activities on offer, and the possibility of discovering the charity’s work in France.

You’ll find more info here.

And our last proposition will please the entire family, even if it is a little further afield! It’s the Foire du Trône funfair in the Bois de Vincennes to the east of the city.

With dozens of funfair attractions and rides, it’s open for almost a month (23rd March – 21st April 2024) from midday every day (2pm 1st April) and closes at 11pm (or 1am on Fridays, Saturdays and the nights before public holidays!)

We hope to welcome you soon to the Hotel Saint-André des Arts, Hotel & Spa la Belle Juliette, Hotel les Dames du Panthéon, Hotel Baume, Hotel Design Sorbonne or Hotel des Grands Hommes!
