Well, our plans changed...ha.
A good friend who is Irish is getting married in Ireland and we wanted to attend the wedding. So, we changed our 2 weeks in Italy by ourselves to 5 days in Paris and 5 days in Ireland with the entire family.
The trip is coming up in a couple of weeks...We will have my husband and I, (2) teenagers and an 8 year old.
Anyone have any "must do" in either place that are off the beaten path or more interesting local places? I've read all the typical travel books (Fodor's), etc. and, of course, we're going to hit as many museums, castles etc. that the kids will put up with.
But, I'd love, love to try things/go places locals do as well
In Paris we're staying right off the Champs-Élysées in Arrondissement 8 (apparently a couple of blocks from the Disney store).
In Ireland, we're staying in Athlone. We have quite a few plans surrounding the wedding with the family at local establishments.
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions - I'd love, love to hear them.
Thanks!
