What a great idea!
Perhaps buy a really big street map of Paris/ Madrid from the Grandchildren with some home-made flags so he can tick off all the places he's visited?
A beret to wear when in France?
If you Google 'hidden gems of Paris' (or Madrid) you'll get a list of places that are not the usual tourist attractions but may well be worth a visit or give you ideas for more presents.
Sorry I can't suggest more....Stopped smoking 20th October 2012
This year I will have something that resembles a garden and not a building site!0
