Cathedrale de la Major is 68% Kids-Friendly
Bright mosaics and a wide car-free terrace briefly engage children, but the silence rule, lack of games and limited toilets mean many kids tire after 15–20 minutes.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Basilique du Sacré-Cœur is 68% Kids-Friendly
School-age kids can try catechism hour, crypt tour and music festival events; however stairs, quiet worship rules, and lack of toilets or hands-on displays mean extra supervision, so suitability is fair.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
