History and art museums can be a particular challenge, so it's worth looking into
the availability of
ateliers
(workshops) for children and/or families. They're offered
by many Parisian museums, including the Louvre and the Orsay, but usually require
booking.
Outside the capital, it's worth thinking about which area is likely to interest the
kids most. They're bound to love the fairy-tale châteaux of the Loire Valley and the
high-octane activities of the French Alps, for example, but might be less interested
in the wine country around Bordeaux and Champagne. Coastal areas are always a
good bet: the Atlantic Coast and the French Riviera offer plenty of seaside fun as
well as brilliant beaches.
