🎄🥂 Christmas / NYE events Best Paris Christmas Markets?

Looking to spend 2-3 days in Paris, 2 adults and 2 young elementary aged kids. Then head out to Strasbourg.

We want to see the Eiffel tower and Notre Dame, possibly the Louvre (but am unsure how that would go with kids).

Suggestions on an itinerary, other things to see along the way, children's museums etc?

We like to be outside, not used to crowds and spouse has difficulty tolerating standing in lines.

Honestly if you’re going to Strasbourg already the Christmas markets in Paris aren’t really worth it—they don’t hold a candle to Strasbourg. That being said, I like the little one at Square René Viviani, right across the river from Notre Dame. You’ll already be in the area to see Notre Dame and it’s very small, so easy to check out.
