Paris with the family

The family and I will be visiting relatives in greater London for three weeks in late July and early August. The kids have never been to Europe and it’s been 15 years since Mom and Dad have been able to get over there.

We have a pretty open schedule and want to include a Paris trip as part of the vacation. Advice on where to stay and what to do in Paris with a family of six would be greatly appreciated. In addition to mom and dad, we have kids aged 16 (girl), 13 (girl), 11 (boy), and 7 (girl). We generally stay in Airbnbs when traveling anywhere more than a night or two and I’d guess we’d go this route in Paris (we’ll be staying with family in London). Any thoughts on neighborhoods to stay in and/ or what we should be looking for in a Parisian Airbnb? I assume we want to take the train from London and hope nobody goes on strike? Thinking 4-5 nights, but pretty flexible.

Advice on London and daytrips out of London with the family would be welcome as well.
