KIDS’ CORNER There’s plenty of family activities offered in Paris this fall

1. Eat Spooky Candy at Chocolate Sensations

You're probably wondering what you could do here in Paris in the Autumn. Well, there’s a bunch of exciting and engaging activities for kids of all ages. As the leaves turn shades of red and orange, and the air gets colder, there's no shortage of opportunities for families and kids to have fun! From cool outdoor activities to delicious delights, this article will guide you through a selection of delightful adventures that are sure to keep you all entertained throughout the fall months in our picturesque Paris Let’s get started!

If you’re a die-hard fan of chocolate (or just like eating it), Chocolate Sensations in downtown Paris have nearly a great variety of chocolates from regular dark and milk chocolates to remixed ‘Salted Caramel’ and ‘Smarties™’ chocolate bars! They also have spooky chocolates shaped to look like pumpkins, pirate skulls, and even tombstones! They also have Halloween candy kabobs which are a fan-favorite according to my classmates. No matter what costumes other children wear, when the Halloween candy comes out, everyone is a goblin!

2. Read a Book and Drink Hot Chocolate

It must be cold outside, the chilly wind blowing, the falling autumn leaves flying around. Go ahead and make your way to the Dog-Eared Café also surprisingly in downtown Paris! But Hot Chocolate isn’t the only thing they have, they also provide a variety of different coffees such as Espressos and Lattés; they even have cold drinks if you’re not feeling frosty such as Iced Tea and Lemonade. If you think that’s the only thing you can do there, you could also sit down and read some of the books they have. They have books for children as well as books for adults too.

3. Take a Trip to the Terrific Trail

(I hope these Halloween puns don't drive you batty; get it?) Make sure to bundle up warm to go on one of Paris’ trails. The Nith River Sensory Trail to be specific!
