Do you? I remember paying about $1,500 or $1,700/pp the last time we went to Paris.

I've paid as little as $650 (late October) or as much as $1200 (April). But I fly economy, so maybe you need more room than my compact self. Since you're planning for 2020, you have plenty of time to shop airfare sales and save up some points/miles/rewards.

If I were traveling w/a 2 yo, I would NOT want to add an extra takeoff & landing to the mix (you mention adding Barca). Maybe spend the first day in Paris, strolling and recovering from jet lag, before taking the train down south. I think the train is a good choice for a toddler: if he gets bored, you can walk up and down, and there is so much more room to move than in a plane or a car. I think children under 4 travel free on EuroStar if on lap. You can buy a child seat ticket as well, and pick your seats around a table to allow for spreading out.
