If you’re an avid traveler who loves taking his whole family on a trip or don’t have the possibility to leave your baby at home during the trip, taking a toddler to France can prove to be a challenge for most parents. There are certain peculiarities to France you should be aware of, otherwise the whole trip may turn into a disaster if certain measures won’t be taken. Here are some of the most important things when going to France with a small child: Don’t expect to see a lot of stroller-friendly places in France.

You might as well want to take a little practice in taking the stairs with a stroller at home in order to be ready for the experience abroad. There aren’t many taxis with baby seats in them, so you should consider taking one with you. And always make sure that the driver installs it properly, as French taxi drivers don’t mind having small children crawling all over their car. You won’t have any problems with finding all kinds of baby food and accessories such as diapers. But it’s still recommended to take the most essential things with you the baby is already used to.

Nevertheless, you might want to try local items as there’s a huge variety of baby products of high quality. When booking a hotel make sure to check if they have cribs and their quality if possible. It might as well be better to take a folding crib with you or rent it at a baby product shop if there’s one near the hotel. Be aware of the late dinners, as most restaurants start serving later than we’re all used to. So make sure to schedule your meals in order to take the baby to bed not too late into the night.
