January remains a cold and changeable month in Paris. So mix an outdoor stopover with a warm one. And don\u2019t forget to leave room for snacks and a siesta. <\/p>\n
Accessibility for families varies according to location and level. So be sure to look out for elevators, family toilets and stroller zones before you set off. This will help you avoid energy-intensive detours. <\/p>\n
