Jennifer Garner recalls family vacation to Europe during marriage to Ben Affleck

Jennifer Garner reflected on a six-week European vacation she took with her three children—Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14—while Ben Affleck was filming a superhero movie in London. The trip, which included stops in Paris and Venice, was discussed on her Happy Hour podcast with Ina Garten. Garner said she took the children out of school for the duration of the trip, noting it was the last time she did so. Garten suggested exploring Paris by boat, a suggestion Garner said contributed to the experience. The actress indicated the trip has become a recurring tradition for her family.

"When my kids were really little, I went to Paris," Garner told Garten. "Ben was shooting some Batman-ish movie in London and we went for six weeks. I took them out of school. It was the last time I really took kids out of school, but it was wonderful. It was incredible. It was so fun."

"And part of that is that we bopped around," she added, recalling visits to Venice and Paris.
