Traveling with a Baby to Paris, France - Day 1

Paris is the second stop to our multi-city international trip with Maddox. After coming to Paris by train from London, we only had a couple days here so we tried to cram as much as we could into our itinerary.

Angelina

Our first stop is Angelina where we grabbed a few pastries to eat in the park. They’re known for their hot chocolate, but their pastry selection is really what caught our eye.

Jardin Des Tuileries

We took a leisurely stroll through this huge landscaped garden that’s right in the middle of Paris. The gardens were beautiful and there were tons of wide open spaces where you can just sit and enjoy the day.

The Louvre

Louvre Pyramid musee pyramide du louvre museum

The Louvre happened to be closed on this day, but we were fine just walking around the outside of the pyramid. Hearing stories of how crowded the museum gets, I’m not a fan of cramming myself in with those kinds of crowds, especially with a baby in tow.

Notre Dame Cathedral

From the Louvre, we walked along the Seine until we got to the Notre Dame Cathedral. Most of it was blocked off due to the April 2019 fire.

Berthillon

We heard from multiple people that Berthillon has the best ice cream in Paris so we had to stop by here to take a break from all the walking.

Luxembourg Palace

The Luxembourg Palace and gardens is a wonderful place to relax. The palace itself is a large architecturally beautiful building set in the center of Paris full of history. The Luxembourg Gardens are even more beautiful and has a little bit of everything for everyone.

My favorite part of the Luxembourg Gardens were the rows of perfectly groomed trees, similar to the ones at the Jardin des Tuileries.

We tried our best to stay out until the sparkle light show started, but it was getting too late and already way past Maddox’s bedtime. Luckily we got a peek of it when we were walking back to our hotel.
