CloseRe: It's not you... it's your airline
For what its worth, a few comments on flying to and from France with children:
Air France, not on the family friendly list above, has bassinets, a children's TV program, kid's package, and crews that are attuned to both the children's and general passenger interest in keeping children content and calm during the flight.
In Paris airports, parents with toddlers or babies, are allowed to use 'fast lanes' for security, immigration, and customs... (You may have to remind the ground staff at the airport, that you have children and would like to board first, as the French maul the boarding lines pele-mele, and generally don't board by rows). There are also various children's play areas scattered about the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, but they are not easy to locate in such an enormous sprawling expanse. Terminals D and E at charles de gaulle, are within 5 minutes walking distance of the regional train that will take you straight into the center of Paris.(take the express train, to avoid stops in some of the crime-prone northern suburban wastelands).
