Taking 12-year-old granddaughter to Paris

All the "must see" places on your list can be easily accomplished. Start in the heart of Paris at the Champs-Elysees. In one direction is the Arc de Triomphe; in the other the Place de la Concorde. Stroll through the Tuileries, a beautiful park on the right bank of the River Seine. This abuts the Louvre, and for your visit there you should allow at least a half day, perhaps longer. A few blocks beyond the museum is Notre Dame. The Eiffel Tower is a cab ride a couple of miles to the west. The concierge at your hotel can advise you on city tours.
