What to do with teenagers in Paris? Our must-see outings in the capital with grown-ups

Published by Margot de Sortiraparis · Photos by Margot de Sortiraparis · Published on May 22, 2023 at 01:00 p.m.
If the capital is becoming more and more kid friendly with activities for children and family places that are multiplying, it still remains to be proven that teenagers also have the right to activities designed for their age group: here is our selection of outings to do with big kids!

As a family, the question is always: how to keep the kids busy? Then, as they grow up, the question turns to "how do we keep the teens busy?" Growing up, in a period of personality development, with many changes on their side, teenagers are sometimes a difficult audience to target, especially if you don't have the codes of their generation.

Age-wise, tweens and teens fall right between children and adults, two audiences that are particularly targeted during activities, workshops, guided tours, without (almost) never mentioning teens. Whether it is to find an outing where your teenager will go with his friends in autonomy, to find the exhibition or the family activity where he will be neither too old nor too young, the capital has a lot of possibilities to go out as a family with big kids.

When you become a teenager, you assert yourself more: in front of your parents, of course, but above all, you know your tastes better, you know which hobbies stimulate you, which subjects you are passionate about. Whether your teen is into manga, thrills, literature, outdoor activities or temporary exhibitions in the most beautiful Parisian museums, it's up to you to choose your next outing with him or her, to spend the day with the family!
