Q. Steve M. of Irvine, California writes: My wife and I have two daughters (age 2 1/2 and 4 1/2), and are planning a trip to Europe. We'd like to do Paris, but we're open to anything. We want someplace where the kids can have fun and we can enjoy ourselves, too. Any suggestions for places to stay ?

A - We received your request for information for your proposed trip and note your children's ages.  As you may know, most hotels and resorts do not offer organized programs for children under the age of 4 or so.  In response to many requests for this specialized care, FTF has located and reviewed those that do for our annual surveys of the "Top Ten Getaways for Tiny Travelers." These are the European properties that offer excellent facilities for the entire family, including infants and toddlers.
