Paris Four days... help

Posted by on

Hi, I am visiting Paris at the end of the month and am becoming overwhelmed with how to possibly fit everything in and also enjoy Paris. I would love recommendations about my tentative schedule so far and any suggestions. I would also love to know if anyone has gone to concerts at any churchs or other live performances that are worth exploring. This is not our first time to Paris so we will not be going to the Lourve or up in Eiffel tower.

Day 1
St. Chapelle
Notre Dame
Concierge
Luxemborg Gardens
Marais

Day 2
Eiffel Tower
Champs de Mars
Arc de Triomphe
Orsay
Invalides

Day 3
Versailles
Montmarte (assuming there is time for this)

Day 4
Free Day to be filled.

Day 5 flight at 5 pm.

Things to fit into the schedule if permitted
Opera
Galleries Lafayette
Primtemps
Place Vendome
Jacquemart Andre
Orangerie
Seine River Cruise
Place Des Voges

There were mostly locals at the Jacquemart Andre when I was there last month.
BTW, that's Conciergerie, not Concierge.

On day 2, I would move the Orsay to your free day and add the Rodin Museum because it is near the Invalides. "The Thinker" is in the gardens. They were renovating the house so it was a pretty quick museum. Buy the Paris Museum Pass to make it a worth while stop. The lines at St.Chapelle were insane by 9:00am while the Notre Dame's line wasn't bad til closer to 10:00 or 10:30. The Louvre was awesome on Wed or Fri night when it's open late. Orsay is open late one night also. I think your plan is very doable. On Tues and Thursday nights, St. chapelle has concerts.

your first day looks good grouping Notre Dame, Concierge, and St Chapelle.. but I would eliminate the combo of Luxembourg and Marais.. they are not near each other.. I would add Luxembourg to your free day.. along with Orsay.. and then you can leave Marais in the first day line up.

Sorry for the spellings! I meant the Palais Garnier.

I am thinking I will get the paris pass while I am there to by pass some of the ticketing lines, but I have been recommended to take the Paris Walks tour of Marais while I am there. I also am signed up for a croissant cooking class on the Saturday morning until 1230, which limits some of my time. Can anyone suggest any good walking tour groups, aside from Paris Walks since the times seem to conflict with some of our plans.

Thanks,

Sarah
