Day 1 · The river and Eiffel Tower
Start with your chosen Eiffel Tower visit, allowing for its actual entry time and access level. Leave room for a riverside walk and a meal. If a Seine cruise appeals, check its departure point before pairing it with the tower.
Day 2 · Art and a neighborhood afternoon
Make the Louvre your anchor and choose the collection or guided introduction you most want. Keep the afternoon flexible for a nearby walk, café or smaller discovery. Resist adding another large museum just to fill the schedule.
Day 3 · Montmartre or your own Paris
Choose a neighborhood-focused day, with time for food and viewpoints. If Versailles or Disneyland is your priority, replace this day rather than adding it on top: both need their own travel allowance.
Before you book
This is an editorial starting point, not a timed or booked itinerary. Check official opening calendars, access and operator inclusions, then use the planner to adapt the trip to your dates and interests.
