Things to do with young children in Paris in August
I will be going to Paris in August with 3 other adults and 3 children (aged 2 to 6).
What kind of things are worth seeing/doing that will keep them amused? I would like options for if the weather is good or bad and ideally away from the usual tourist traps.
2 adults and 2 children only speak English, the others speak English and French.

Found all of above in Go Paris About.com
Now interestingly enough there is a website dedicated to visiting France with family.
There is also a list of Top Attractions on Frommer's. You might have to do a little research on what is actually in each one and find ones appropriate for your kids.
