Paris may be the city of light and love, but it’s also a great place for a family holiday. With famous landmarks, museums, galleries, parks, boat trips and, of course, Disneyland Paris, there is plenty to keep children of all ages occupied. You’ll need a comfortable spot to return to at the end of long days running around Paris with your family, so we’ve rounded up the very best family-friendly hotels the city has to offer.
