Paris is also popular as a family holiday destination, thanks largely to the Disneyland Paris resort, which is within easy access of the main Eurostar station. However, there are a wide range of family friendly activities around Paris, including museums and inner city fun parks to explore and enjoy.
The city is also famous for its theatre district, which includes beautiful opera houses and theatres – offering the chance to view classical opera and ballet performances. For something a little more risqué there is the world famous Moulin Rouge cabaret hall, where you can view spectacular dance performances and traditional can-can dancers.
