How young? I took my daughter there when she was 10 and didn't do anything especially childish and she loved it.any suggestions for things to do in Paris/Nice for a family with youngish kids? Will do Normandy even though i know its not their age level but will offset that with a Disney trip
Lots of kids playing in Luxembourg garden when it’s warm. There are also two Canadian bars in Paris where you can feed her Americanish food.any suggestions for things to do in Paris/Nice for a family with youngish kids?

I’ll second Luxembourg Garden. We ended up spending several hours there and our kids burned off a lot of energy. They have a fun playground there, you actually have to pay to get in which was weird, but ended up being worth it.Lots of kids playing in Luxembourg garden when it’s warm.

Depends on the time of day in my experience. I’ve waited an hour at customs and I’ve breezed through.is connecting in Heathrow a goddamn nightmare? on a flight from the US to Italy (Schengen). seeing mixed things and I know in the past when I've flown there the lines for passport control have been long as shit, but I was going from a Schengen country and continuing on within the UK.
Were you transiting or was London your destination?Depends on the time of day in my experience. I’ve waited an hour at customs and I’ve breezed through.
Both, though primarily I’ve stayed in London. I’ve transferred through to Middle East and Asia though, no big sweat.Were you transiting or was London your destination?
Should be able to. You’ll need to clear security. I don’t remember going through passport control. Assume CDG?If I land in Paris at 8:10am on a Thursday, can I make a connecting flight to Dublin at 9:55?
Yes. Currently I have a 7 hour layover at CDG before my flight to Dublin. I’m trying to analyze the feasibility of the other connecting flightsShould be able to. You’ll need to clear security. I don’t remember going through passport control. Assume CDG?
Amsterdamif you go to Beaune, go here: https://www.domainesenard.com/en/ and have lunch/tour. One of the best meals I had in France.
Are you taking the Rhine to Amsterdam or Vienna?
But I was in Vienna all last week! Loved it. I'd been to Salzburg before, but not Vienna. Thanks again for the rec.Amsterdam
We did it in 2019. Spent two weeks. Flew into Palermo, spend a couple days there and then rented a car and took off. Drove from there south to Vittoria and took day trips from there. Then went to Syracuse (stayed in Ortigia) which was amazing. From there went to the north side of Etna and stayed at a vineyard hotel near Rovittello and then from there went to Catania and then flew out from there. The only part of the island we didn't see that I wanted to was Marsala to the southwest of Palermo. But overall it was my favorite vacation i've ever taken. It's absolutely gorgeous, the food and wine are exceptional and the people were all amazing. And the driving was generally very easy, once you are outside of the big cities. Driving in Palermo and downtown Catania is pure chaos. You'll defs want a nav system for sure as it can get kind of confusing with the billion roundabouts. And you should also be comfortable driving in a somewhat aggressive manner. People will ride your ass if you go too slow, and you have to be comfortable passing slow moving cars on two lane winding roads. If you don't then you may never make it anywhere quickly. But I cannot recommend it enough.Anybody here driven around in Sicily?
