If Paris is full of cultural centers dedicated to young children, there is also something to satisfy older children and their parents. From the unmissable visit to the Eiffel Tower to the behind-the-scenes of the Cité du Cinéma, via the dark legends of the Manoir de Paris, here are the 10 cultural outings chosen by Familiscope and Notre famille to please teenagers.
1 / 11 Paris with teenagers: the Palais de Tokyo
The Palais de Tokyo houses a modern art museum and a contemporary art center. Hype and surprising, it is very popular with teenagers who are often not very sensitive to other artistic movements. Concert programming. Free for under 18s.
2 / 11 Paris with teenagers: the Grévin Museum
The Grévin museum is one of the must-see Parisian places to spend a good time with family and take photos alongside the idols of our youth and theirs: Kev Adams, Cara Delevingne, Lionel Messi… The cost of entry is consistent, so take the time to look for promotions: “Family offer”, “low price” ticket.
3 / 11 Paris with teenagers: the Cité du Cinéma
Initiated by Luc Besson (The Big Blue, The Fifth Element), the Cité du Cinéma opens its doors to allow everyone to visit the studios and backstage between two binge watching sessions. By reservation only.

La Géode is a breathtaking architecture in which films are shown in IMAX format. Exceptional picture and sound quality for rainy afternoons. Reduced rate for under 25s.

Information on radio careers, concerts, but also workshops and guided tours… The Maison de la Radio reveals the secrets of sound to our teenagers who love good music. €10 for a guided tour (1h30).
6/11 Paris with teenagers: the Catacombs
To compensate for the absence of video games, a visit to the municipal ossuary of Paris is the best way to satisfy thrill-seekers. Thrills guaranteed! Be careful, however, of the risk of falling. Free for under 18s.
7/11 Paris with teenagers: the Père Lachaise cemetery
The prestigious Père-Lachaise cemetery offers the possibility of a fascinating stroll in the heart of Paris. Mysterious atmosphere and enchanting nature accompany the discovery of the tombs of Jim Morrison for rock fans, or Oscar Wilde for literature buffs. Free.

Interactive tours set against a backdrop of Parisian legends to face your biggest fears as a family. Frequent “Dark nights” evenings. Reduced price for under 16s.
9/11 Paris with teenagers: Gamescape
Far from bloody stories, Gamescape allows you to immerse yourself in the concept of “escape games” that teenagers love through intrigues on the theme of Paris: Interview with Gustave Eiffel, the dungeon of the Bastille… Around 25 € per player.
10/11 Paris with teenagers: the Eiffel Tower
An emblematic monument of Paris, the Eiffel Tower is the unmissable visit to amaze the whole family before taking some well-deserved rest in the Champ-de-Mars park.
