It’s no secret, Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. You could spend a lifetime there and keep on discovering its charms. So, when the kids are pestering you to spend as much time as possible at Disneyland® Paris (and that’s totally understandable), you might only have one day to devote to the City of Lights.
For those of you looking to make the most of your time in Paris, and pack their day with unforgettable trips, this next part is for you!
Our starting point: the Vienna House Dream Castle Paris or Vienna House Magic Circus Paris hotels, of course!
