Dining En Famille
Of course, no visit to Paris would be complete without dining in a restaurant, complete with aproned garcons and cheese plates, but finding a suitable place for kids can pose a challenge. Try to research your options before you go, or ask at your hotel if they have recommendations for your quartier. If you’re exploring the city and having difficulty finding a place suitable for children, look for a children’s menu and other families dining, good indicators the restaurant is hospitable to all age groups. Also, brasseries, the casual café restaurants that are so ubiquitous in Paris, tend to be more family-friendly and have more menu choices that appeal to kids.
If you want a more detailed, personal itinerary, check out Edible Paris. All you have to do is let founder, food critic and cookbook author Rosa Jackson know what you’re looking for and she’ll create a personalized itinerary including restaurants, markets and specialty shops.
- It’s never too early to start teaching children about the finer foods in life.

Also, on weekends two-star Michelin Chef Guy Savoy offers the “Découverte-des-Saveurs,” menu at his Le Cap Vernet restaurant (82 Avenue Marceau), designed to introduce children to the more delectable elements of food. Near the Arc de Triomphe, children will taste firsthand what inspires Remy so much.
While the whole family is sure to enjoy the delicacies of Parisian restaurants, shops and markets, if you find the culinary adventure has perhaps gone a bit too far, return to something simple, as Remy does to impress the food critic Anton Ego. A simple ratatouille reminds the embittered critic of a warm childhood moment and the joy of good food. Wherever you may be, a croquet monsieur (hot ham and cheese sandwich) or a plate of pommes frites (french fries) are simple, delicious choices sure to delight the child in all of us.

I can picture the many little people in my life getting a kick out of this experience and will definitely pass it on to their parents; on a side note, I just realized you can click on photos to make them larger and that other articles include mini slideshows! If you have any other photos of these workshops, please add :)
Fabulous Idea!

I'm already looking forward to taking my son (still an infant...but soon will be six years) to France to partake in one of the cooking classes. What an experience that would be! And the best part?? My husband and I could sneak off to a wonderful restaurant- sans enfant!
