An artistic stay in Paris: 5 must-do activities and outings for families

Whether in museums, galleries, or during outdoor workshops, the “City of Light” is full of initiatives designed to spark the imagination of young ones. Parisian cultural institutions compete in creativity to offer fun and interactive experiences, allowing families to enjoy moments of discovery while sharing an educational and entertaining experience. Paris thus becomes a playground where art, in all its forms, is accessible to everyone, both young and old.

An artistic brunch at Thoumieux

Every first Sunday of the month, the brunch at Thoumieux on the Left Bank transforms into a true haven for children. While parents relax at the brasserie, enjoying crispy pastries, refined dishes, and exquisite desserts, the little ones participate in creative workshops inspired by great artists. What could be more fun than stepping into the shoes of Paul Cézanne or Georges Seurat?

After unleashing their creativity, they can indulge in a special brunch featuring scrambled eggs, melty croque-monsieur, ham-and-cheese pasta, and a variety of homemade pastries to savor without moderation. 

(Starting September 15, every first Sunday of the month.)
