Second, you and your family can go at night to see the breathtaking lights. Lastly, you and your family can really enjoy the Eiffel Tower by having a picnic and even mingle with other people as well. "The Eiffel Tower is surrounded by big lawns where Parisians love to sit during spring and summer.'' It's best to go between Spring and Summer seasons.

Disneyland

Disneyland is one of the happiest places in the world, and France is one of the countries that has that amazing theme park. Even though each country’s Disneyland is differ from one or the other, they all have one thing in common and that is to have fun. "It encompasses two theme parks, many resort hotels, Disney Nature Resorts, a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, and a golf course, in addition to several additional recreational and entertainment venues."

Shopping

Shopping is an activity a family together can do. There will be a lot of souvenirs that will be purchased because France offers unique things.

Museums

Even though vacation is a lot about leisure and simply having fun, it is important to try to learn new things along the way.
