They go to Paris, France, in Home Alone 1.

Trip destination

  • The McCallister family flies from Chicago to spend Christmas in Paris, leaving Kevin behind by mistake during the chaotic early-morning rush to the airport.
  • They remain stuck in Paris for most of the film because holiday flights back to the United States are fully booked.

While they’re away

  • Kevin stays alone in the family house in the Chicago suburbs and has to defend it from the Wet Bandits (Harry and Marv) using homemade traps.
  • By the time his mother finally makes it back to him, the rest of the family are just arriving from Paris on later flights.
