Paris Itinerary help for 3 1/2 -4 day visit

I am needing help figuring out a day by day plan ..My time in Paris will be short. Monday afternoon through Thursday. Right now I am reserving Thursday to do a fat bike tire tour of Versailles. We will arrive Monday mid to late morning from Bayeux to Gare Paris St.Lazare . We will Use the metro to get to our hotel which is around the corner from the Invalides..about 30 min from Gare St. Lazare.

Originally I had wanted to fit a stop in at Giverny , but realize I must come back to Paris to do so.

I am wondering if Monday when we get back this plan might work.
Visit the Orangerie closes at 18:00 and Tulleries..
Is it possible that we could visit the Louvre closes at 18:00 ( if not it would need to be on Wed. ) suggestions??
Evening see Place du Tracedero

Tuesday:
Possible. … take train to Giverny in morning
When Return … Orsay closes 18:00. Walk to see Il cit’e, Notre dame , Saint chapelle, arc de triomphe Latin Quarters , Luxembourg Gardens

Wed.
Marmotten , Rodin
Maybe a neighborhood walk??
Night Cruise on Seine

Thursday..
Versailles Fat tire bike tour …maybe left bank walk
Taxi or boat tour

Wishes…if could where would Opera Garnier fit in

When are you traveling?

It depends on what sights are most important to you but I feel like you’ve got a really packed schedule. For myself, I’d not do a day trip to Giverny with your short time frame and would switch things so I did venues in Paris including spending time at the Orsay.

Monday- this should work but I don’t think you can fit the Louvre in

Tues- Your “when return “ list would be good for this whole day probably minus the Arc de Triomphe and skipping Giverny

Wed - Marmottan in the AM, possibly Louvre in the afternoon.

Thursday - many enjoy the bike tour

I don’t see where you can fit in Opera Garnier…maybe start your list for next time with Giverny, Opera and Rodin? 😉

Orsay is open late on Thursdays, til 845 or 9, you might be able to squeeze that in.

The Orsay was my favorite museum in Paris. Give it as much time as you can. Wonderful museum!
