“There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering,” writes Victor Hugo in Les Miserables, “a hell of boredom.” This online platform, which offers virtual-museum visits geared toward a younger generation, allows you to keep the kids entertained while brushing up on Parisian culture. Participating institutions include the Maison de Victor Hugo, the Petit Palais, the Maison de Balzac, and the city’s Catacombs. —J.V.
