Good plan for families: gifts offered by the RATP for the Mercredis des Enfants

Every second Wednesday of the month, RATP agents are waiting for you in no less than 80 metro, RER or tramway stations in Paris and the Île-de-France region to give your children a little surprise for free. Next date: Wednesday 8 March 2023.

Since January 2022, Wednesdays have become a vacation for little Parisians, as RATP offers a surprise for children aged 4 to 10, every second Wednesday of the month, accompanied by a little card full of tips for traveling on RATP lines.

Taking public transport with children can quickly become difficult: crowded trains, a journey that is too long for the little ones who are just waiting to arrive... So, even if the gift won't solve the rush hour traffic in the Paris metro, it at least has the merit of keeping your child's attention for five minutes (or ten, we hope).
