I have been to Paris several times with youngsters your girls’ ages. If you look up Paris grandmother granddaughter tours you’ll see some itineraries. I have used these for ideas for our trips. You can reserve seats for a fashion show at the Galleries Lafayette. Most kids love the bateaux mouche, both day and night tours. If they are fans of Princess Diana you can visit the tunnel where she died. Street food such as crepes.

I use Rick Steves’ Mona Winks for museum highlights. Paris museums turn out to be much enjoyed even by self-declared museum haters. There is the carousel with a great view in the Tuileries Jardin (seasonal) and , if your kids like Disney, a visit to Euro Disney via an easy train ride is much enjoyed. My sons like the slightly grittier things like the Marais district. There used to be rooftop dining at one of the big department stores but I think that has closed. There is something for everyone. Have a great time!
