Brief Itinerary
Start gently in the flat, stroller-friendly Jardin Anglais. Playground and shaded lawns for a picnic. Ideal first stop to adjust to the city with public toilets and plenty of benches.
1h 15m
Short, iconic stop to see the fountain up close. Walkable from the garden — kids love the spray from a distance. Keep a light windbreaker in case of mist.
20m
Family-friendly pier: shallow areas for paddling, clean public changing rooms, and a simple kiosk serving soups, sandwiches and kid-friendly options. Good for a relaxed late-morning snack and short swim.
1h 15m
Short walk to Manor department store’s food floor: many small counters, high chairs, and quick options for picky eaters and dietary needs — fast service keeps waiting short.
1h
Quiet, shady park with large lawns and paved paths ideal for stroller naps. If your child naps at the hotel, use this time for a short, restful family stroll instead.
