Walking idea from Eiffel Tower to the Louvre
Hi
We are visiting Paris (Disney) over Easter and plan to spend a full day in Paris. The kids simply love Disney but this time round we will make sure that we spend a full day in Paris. I'm thinking of starting at either Eiffel Tower and ending at the Louvre or vice versa. 2 adults / 4 kids aged 5 to 11. I suspect we will enjoy most by soaking in the atmosphere and doing lots of walking. Any good restaurant for kids ? What sight should we include in our itinerary. Should I rent a car ?
Thanks

You can eat near the rue Cler which is a picturesque shopping street, go through the Invalides (one of Paris most beautiful monument), then through the Place du Palais Bourbon (beautiful little place with small cafés in front of the Parliament), reach the right bank via the "Passerelle Senghor" and access the Louvre from the Tuilerie gardens. Going to the Louvre from the Tuilerie garden is also a good option to avoid the queue around the Pyramide.

Thanks for comment
Should I keep close to the river bank or is it more scenic through Rue Cler ? What about the Arc of Triumph and the Champ Elysees- I thought about crossing the river from Eiffel Tower but it sounds like perhaps I should on this side of the river

Another way, after you eat at one of the restaurants on Rue Cler, walk back to the river and walk along the river. (you have to go down where you are at the same level as the river), there are lots of little things that kids can enjoy doing, skipping things on the floor, there is a climbing wall. Then walk up and take the Passarell (pedestrian bridge) to the louvre.

The best part of Rue Cler, the pedestrian part, is between Rue Grenelle to Le Motte Piquet. If you tell me where exactly you are starting from, I can give you a few walks. Rue Cler is a local food shopping street with cafes in between.

Time of year? In the summer there's a fair (free to enter) with some amusement park type rides and food stands in part of Tuilleries and also a Ferris wheel at Concorde.
