I love to go on adventures with my daughter who is 8. Recently she has been harboring a Paris obsession, so I decided to plan a France themed outing for us.
For extra fun, dress French by pairing breton stripes with slacks or a skirt, sport oversized sunglasses, ballet pumps, and hey - red lipstick! But really anything classic will do!
Then get in the mood by listening to some French Pop music in the car!

Here are some ideas to find a little Paris in your city:
1. Check out Impressionism or other French art at your local art museum by French artists such as Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro.
2. Lunch at a French cafe or Creperie. My daughter loves Nutella Crepes!
3. Find a bakery that sells Macrons. (This was a true adventure! Two Macaron bakeries were out of business when we arrived and the French Cafe didn't have them. But finally, we prevailed at the Sweet Hut Atlanta).
4. Check out French architecture. (Provincial or Normandy)
