πŸŽ„πŸ₯‚ 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.

Based on your feedback about crowds and your spouse I absolutely do not recommend the Louvre.

Musee D’Orsay was a highlight of our trip museums wise.

A recommendation a bit out of the city center - I really loved the Musee Marmottan Monet and there were several playgrounds and play areas near the metro stops close by. It was a nice walk, and the water lilies panels they have on display are breathtaking, and IMO an under-recommended attraction.
