Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Fun Activities & Games

April 9, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

THATLou, Treasure Hunt at the Louvre

THATLou runs themed Treasure Hunts at the Louvre (what it stands for) & is part of THATMuse (other museums: Musee d’Orsay, British Museum & the Streets of Paris, THATRue). Our themed hunts give you an overview, whilst keeping you focused & injecting fun in your museum visit. Both educational & adrenalin-pumping, our goal is to make you want to see more of the museum after the hunt. No knowledge of art prior is necessary

I'm embarrassed that it has taken me almost a year to write this review! We were there in October, 2017. But that's not because we didn't love our THATLou experience. However, now I can say how the experience is a lasting one. Images of the "treasures" that we found in the Louvre are so ubiquitous that my granddaughters, ages 10 and 14, have recognized many of them over and over as the months have passed. They are always excited to point them out. The artifacts are important in their history studies as well. The day of our THATLou was amazing! Daisy met us punctually and gave us a brief, interesting and informative historical background introduction which was perfectly tailored for our girls. The not-too-long wait in line passed quickly because Daisy talked about such interesting things. She is extremely knowledgeable. As we entered, we were given packets containing our scavenger hunt instructions. Daisy showed us how the hunt worked, suggested strategies, and explained the map of the Louvre (which is very complex). We split into 2 teams: Mom and 10 year old, Grandma and 14 year old. The hunt itself was amazing. The packet talked about each “treasure” with a picture and description which included its history and often a bonus. Be sure to follow the links they send in the email - information there will help earn bonus points. The treasures were definitely highlights at the museum. We wanted more time than 1.5 hours! Afterwards we took each other to the treasures the other team had missed. We enthusiastically recommend this activity for a 1st time visit to the Louvre with kids!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Lutece Langue! I’ve worked with three different instructors there and liked them all. They challenge you without overwhelming you, and are all very easy-going, positive people. Classes are broken down according to standard levels (A1, A2, B1, etc), but the school takes this a step further and adds +s and -s to the levels to provide very targeted instruction. The price point is hard to beat in Paris, too. Having small class sizes is the greatest advantage, though. 5 students is the maximum per class, which means more speaking time and individual attention/direction. It also means having more opportunities to get to know your peers :) You’ll learn a ton. *Note about COVID: The school has taken serious measures to protect their students and professors. Masks are required, classrooms are cleaned OFTEN (I believe it’s 2x a day, with wipe downs during classes for selected activities), and hand sanitizer is required for entry and anytime anything is passed from one person to another. As I already mentioned, class sizes are small, so that’s a huge help in regard to limiting the spread of the virus.
