My itinerary for Paris

Hi Guys,

I%26#39;ve posted one earlier, but I%26#39;ve made some changes, so let me know what you think. Whether I should take some things out, and put other things in?

DAY 1: (Arrive noon)

Walk down Champ-Elysees

Arc De Triomphe

Dinner cruise on Siene

DAY 2:

Notre Dame

Left Bank/Latin Quarter

Pont Neuf

Maybe some shopping?

DAY 3:

Versailles

DAY 4:

Louvre

Tulieries

Place de la Concorde

Place de la Madeline

Galleries Lafayette

DAY 5:

Sacre Couer

Montmatre

Eiffel Tower (in the evening)

Oh forgot, on Day 2, we%26#39;re going to try to fit in Saint Chapelle as well!

|||

It looks perfectly doable, with adequate time for wandering/shopping/cafe cremes. Not crowded at all.

|||

The only thing we found when we were in Paris two weeks ago was the time allocated to shopping. my wife and two daughters nearly dropped when we arrived at lafayette. It is hugh on five or six floors and there is also an second centre close by.

We were there for two hours and only scratched the surface.

Beware!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the shopping! Becoz i know my mum and I are going to go just about crazy, but my Dad will not be as excited, so is there anyhing for him to do around there? Like some nice cafes etc?

There are nice cafes everywhere in Paris so don%26#39;t worry about that. He could also go to the top of Printemps, get a beverage/dessert/food and look at the view of the city. Printemps is next to Galleries Lafayette.

I would suggest adding Opera Garnier to one of your days. I think it is the most beautiful building in Paris. You can do a self-tour of the building for only about 8E. The inside of that building is literally breathtaking. Plus, I suggest walking around the entire outside. You expect a coach and fine white horses to drive up any minute. If I don%26#39;t have my bearings turned around, I think the Opera Garnier isn%26#39;t too far away from the big blvd. Hausman and Galleries Lafayette.

As in love with paris said, there are loads of cafes near by, i walked around for most of the time and then met up with the shoppers. might be an idea to do a two stint i.e. couple of hours before lunch and couple after. From what my family said, you WILL need to give yourself ample time.

Have a good trip

What about Musée d%26#39;Orsay? If you haven%26#39;t been before it%26#39;s definitely worth going. Especially if you like Impressionism.
