Why it matters
The story provides a human-interest look at how high-profile families balance professional film commitments with personal parenting and travel experiences.
Image. Jennifer Garner still treasures the memories of a six-week European adventure with her children while Ben Affleck was filming in London. The trip gave the family time to explore beyond the city where he was working, with a little help from Ina Garten.
The 54-year-old actress recalled the getaway during the November 4 episode of Happy Hour With Ina Garten , thanking her friend for a recommendation that became a favorite part of the journey.
Garten's advice also proved useful years later, when Garner returned to Paris with her eldest daughter, Violet. That visit eventually gave Violet an itinerary she could follow on her own.
Her recollections come as she and Affleck have separately described how they balance parenting with film work now that their children are older.
