Hire Your Favorite Party Characters in Paris

Summer is our busiest period for character bookings across Paris — outdoor birthday parties in the Jardin du Luxembourg, parc Monceau and private gardens throughout the capital keep our performers fully booked. For Saturday and Sunday slots between May and September, we recommend booking four to six weeks ahead, particularly for popular characters like Elsa who get reserved early. During winter, most Paris parties move indoors to family homes across Greater Paris, which opens up considerably more short-notice availability. Midweek slots tend to stay free year-round regardless of season. Just WhatsApp us and we’ll check live availability across the Paris team.

Our Paris team offers princess and superhero characters. Tell us at booking who your child loves and we’ll confirm which performers are available for your date — we’d rather find you a great option early than disappoint a birthday kid on the day.

Our characters bring a proper hour of entertainment, not just a drop-in. The visit starts with a grand entrance and meet-and-greet with the birthday kid, followed by photos with all the little guests. From there, the character leads simple games and activities suited to the age group — for younger kids (2–5) that means sing-alongs and gentle interactive play, for older kids (6–10) it’s more structured games and party moments. The character stays fully in role throughout, and the whole visit is paced to keep every child engaged.

It depends on the character. Most of our princesses prefer not to travel in full costume — it preserves the magic for the kids and the character arrives looking flawless. For these bookings, we’ll need a small private room at your venue (a bedroom, office or bathroom works) where the performer can change, and they’ll arrive 15–20 minutes before the start time to get ready. Once they step out, they’re fully in character for the whole visit and won’t break the spell in front of the kids.

Character visits work brilliantly for kids aged 2 to 10. Younger kids (2–4) absolutely adore meeting their favourite character in real life — expect wide-eyed wonder, shy cuddles and photos they’ll remember for years. Older kids (6–10) love the interactive games and getting to chat with the character one-on-one. For teenagers or very young toddlers under 2, a character visit isn’t usually the best fit — get in touch and we’ll suggest something better suited.

Yes — in the booking form you can add face painting, balloon art, party games or a magic show alongside your character visit. These run as separate services with their own entertainer, so you’d typically have the face painter or balloon artist working as kids arrive, the character visit as the main event, and a magic show or games as a grand finale. Pairing services is one of the most popular setups for bigger parties and makes the whole afternoon flow naturally.

Paris weather being what it is — if an outdoor party gets rained out on the day, we’ll happily reschedule your character booking at no extra charge. Just let us know as soon as you can and we’ll find a new date that works. For indoor parties, rain doesn’t affect us — you’re fully covered either way.
