In August, I've got a 3.5 hour gap between arriving at Gare du Nord and my onward train from Montparnasse. I have two toddlers and would like to walk between the two stations. What are the best sights to see en route? Traditional sights are welcome, but also anything which is particularly toddler friendly.

This does not sound like a walk I'd have with toddlers. Did you check the distance? Do you have no luggage?

Luggage notwithstanding, this is (only?) a 5k walk. For a toddler, that's a lot, but perhaps these toddlers already know how to walk and thus aren't really toddlers?

This is the journey according to google maps. In between start and finish you have a couple parks (man I hate to call thema couple parks), the Opera, the Pompidou centre, the Louvre, the Pantheon, the Invalides, and the list goes on. Isn't this kinda broad?

Taking into account possible delays with childs walking speed and drink/food pause, here's a suggestion :
- Take subway from Gare du Nord to Etienne Marcel. Although it is a
lively and populous area, it's the part that I would remove from the
walking path in order to have more time on other parts. - Walk to the Centre Pompidou, where depending on time of day you could
see various street artist showing besides an outside view of the
museum itself. - Walk to Jardin du Luxembourg, walking thru Ile de la Cité. The Jardin
du Luxembourg is a large public garden, where kids might rest and go
a few playgrounds. - Depending on how the kids are tired and the remaining time, either
take the subway or bus from Luxembourg or walk to Montparnasse train
station.

@JoErNanO I remember being chased off the grass by the guards in plain summer. There was one area where it was allowed but you had to be searching to find more than a square foot of free space.
