From February 10 to 25, 2024, it's February vacation time for little Parisians! For the occasion, many museums in Paris and Île-de-France are offering activities and entertainment for children, like the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, with workshops for young and old alike, from age 6 upwards.

The February 2024 program at the Musée des Plans-Reliefs includes creative activities for children aged 6 and over. Your children can choose between building a Kapla citadel, creating a metal map, playing a strategy game... Each workshop costs just €7, and accompanying adults don't pay to attend with their children.

Alternatively, you can take advantage of a number of flash visit slots during the vacations. February 10, 11, 14, 17, 18, 21, 24 and 25, at 2, 3 and 4 p.m. each day (no reservations required). Best of all, these tours are free with an admission ticket to the Musée de l'Armée or the Musée de l'Ordre de la Libération.
