Hi all,
My fiance and I will have 4.5 days in Paris at the end of our three week honeymoon in Europe. I'm just starting to piece together a rough itinerary and although it is early, I would love any feedback as I'm finding it a bit overwhelming. I think I've grouped things together that make logistical sense but I'm not sure. Would some of you mind taking a look and letting me know your thoughts? Do we have any days that are too heavy or too light? About us: 29 & 30, active/fit, not super interested in art museums (will see a few but won't spend all day at them), want to make sure we have enough time to spend just walking the city, people watching, picnicking, etc. We aren't going to be rushing around from site to site. Food is a big priority (you'll notice I've already chosen a few restaurants!)
We are staying in Montmartre at a B&B and although we tend to early risers we most likely will not be up and out the door by 8am as we plan on enjoying our homemade breakfasts. :)
