Boy, am I glad she's dead

Lots of weaponry, armor, guns, cannons. It's at the Invalides. Also has a museum on WWI & WWII, plus Napoleon's tomb.

They opened a new section there last year all about the French Resistance in WWII and it's pretty interesting (Le musée de l'ordre de la Libération, same ticket as the general museum & Napoleon). Three wings: homeland resistance, foreign legions fighting the Germans, and the Deportation.

I think it's like 7 euros. Eiffel tower will sparkle at 10pm, 11pm, and midnight so you can time your trip. The daytime tour is good too but it's better at night. You can bring booze on board.

Since the sun sets after 9PM you should just plan on having the kids stay up every night too. Ours did.

I think going up the Eiffel Tower is a big waste of time, but from the ferris wheel you actually get a cool ride AND awesome views without having to blow half a day.

The Musee d'Orsay is already the best museum in Paris, but they also have a kids' tour. Well worth it.

It's a little bit of a hike but it's worth it. East side of Paris, huge public park with a pretty big botanical gardens inside it, and a gigantic play ground spread over a big area. There is a ropes course with multiple zip lines that your son is probably big enough to do. You can rent bikes and ride all over too. On weekends they have concerts at the pavilion.

There's a bird market on Sundays on the Île de la Cité. Most days it's a flower market but on Sundays they have lots of birds in cages. Kids love it.

The entire jardins is great but the kids' playground is exceptional. Small entry fee, multiple play structures over a big area along with a cool zip line. Old timey carousel right next to it, with the old timey "brass ring" game. Also a marionette theater with shows on the weekends.

They truck in tons of sand and create a summertime "beach" along the north side of the Seine, running from the Hotel de Ville to the Louvre. Free entry. Free bike rentals for kids (training wheels available). Gelatto stands every 20 feet. It's awesome.
