I went with my parents when I was thirteen. Of the places we visited, I had the most fun in London, Holland, and the Black Forest region. I didn't like Paris at all - people weren't very friendly to us (and this was long before Iraq), and most of the things to do there (Moulin Rouge, Louvre, etc.) were far too adult for me to appreciate. I wouldn't mind going back now that I'm older, but it wasn't a great spot for a family vacation. You might want to find a copy of "Take Your Kids to Europe" by Cynthia Harriman at your local library or bookstore - it's got a wealth of ideas for things you can all do together (and sometimes separately) in most of the major cities of Europe, tips to make your vacation less stressful and more fun, and the information covers families with children and teens of all ages.
