International Jazz Day , InternationalDance Day, International Italian Cuisine Day, International Yoga Day... There really are days for everything. Even for families! That's right: on May 15, 2024, we're celebrating International Day of Families. So grab your kids, nephews, parents, grandparents... and let's get out and about in Paris (yes, even if it's Monday), for this wonderful occasion.
Unlike last year, when the day fell on Sunday, on this May 15, 2024, we suspect that the schedule isn't necessarily the same: firstly, there's the children's school/creche schedules, then your work schedules and the usual rush of daily Parisian life... So, yes, this Monday, May 15, we'll be spending (part of) the day with the family, enjoying a child-friendly restaurant, having a snack in a children's café or in a family-friendly third place, taking a nice walk or even, if the youngest aren't at school yet, visiting one of the family exhibitions of the moment, going to an amusement park, to the accrobranche...
International Day of Families falls on a Monday, but we haven't said our last word, so here are our ideas for outings during this event, which serves as an excuse to get together!
