Plaza Athénée Gives Rich Kids Their Own Guide to Paris

Where: 25 Avenue Montaigne, Paris, France, 75008

Here’s a confession: we used to think that trips to great cultural centers would probably be lost on kiddies. What child, we reasoned, would be able to grasp le sheer greatness of the City of Light, for example?

Well we were wrong, because we hadn’t counted on the Plaza Athénée’s new kiddy-licious website, veryimportantchildren.com. Whether they’re tots or teenagers, the site will tell them what’s to see in Paris (not just the usual stuff either; it mentions temporary, time-specific things like exhibitions, too) as well as what’s going down in the hotel itself (things which it deems “hypra-cool”, which we might take as our word of the summer).

Of course, being the Plaza Athénée (rooms start at 595 euros, or $835, this summer), it’s aimed at very important, rich children. There’s even a section where you can upload your own pictures of your stay, to make a little rich kid community. Cute! But there’s nothing to stop the non-important and non-rich folk using the website to glean ideas. Just as long as it’s not the idea that they’ll be staying there on your next trip over.
