Teenage children, ouch
Hmm, let me think
- Notre Dame
- La conciergerie (I visit it as a kid and love it)
- Tour Eiffel
- Montmartre
- Cité des sciences Porte de la Vilette (Science city:it is terrific, esp. for kids, you got to play with stuffs while learing new things about science. They also put some explanation in English)
- Fontaine des arts near Centre Pompidou (just go there fewx minutes to see it. It’s funny, and people love it)
- if we’re talking about teenage girls then shooping as well in the "Big Shops" part Auber-Havre Caumartin-Opera)
- walking around the Ile de la Cité (old part around Notre Dame)
Now I put 2 reservations about Versailles and Le Louvre. Versailles if you think you can make it, then absolutely do not hesitate and go there first chance you got (outside Paris but very easy to reach with public transportation RER C), but it will probably take the full day or at least 2/3 of it (and don’t forget to walk around the gardens).
As for le Louvre, it would be a shame to miss it, but I can tell you from previous experience that 1- you won’t see the whole stuff, not even the half of it in one day, 2- it is completely exhausting to go there, esp for teenagers
Also, let’s not forget that the first sunday of the month, all the public museums are free in Paris.
