Please advise me on my revised itinerary.
This itinerary possibility would allow us to consider purchasing a two day museum pass.
Day 1 Louvre and Orangerie
Day 2 Orsay and maybe Rodin
Day 3 fat tire bike tour of Versaille
Day 4 Marmaotten and if we wanted Giverny.
(I am hoping to do at least one neighborhood walk/ exploration in the evening and take a ride on Seine one night.
Day 1… We will be arriving in Paris from Bayeux by train at 9:58 Monday , September 5 and staying in Paris Until 10:00 Friday Sept. 9. When leave from Gare Est to go to Luxembourg .
Monday We will have been sitting for 2 hours on the train and will be ready to walk. I think we can get to our hotel using metro and walking comfortably by 11 :00 and then walk to the Louvre by 12 :00 . Our hotel, Hotel Muguet, 11 rue chevert - 75007 Paris, is 30 Min. away using metro and walking from gare St. Lazare and about 30 min walking distance from the Louvre. We will leave our luggage at front desk and check into our room
Later that evening.
I would like to book either a 12:00 or 12:30 timed. entry to the Louvre . We will use an audio guide tour ( maybe Rick Steve’s) . I am thinking that we may spend 3 hours max. in the Louvre . I would like to then go to the Orangerie , which appears to be a 15 min walk, and is open until 18:00.
Please advise if I should book 12:00 or 12:30 for entry into the Louvre . And if you think I can get to the Orangerie . It appears the Louvre and Orangerie are a 15 min walk apart .
