This is for mid-June...the basics are set, but I'm sure I'll switch things around to a degree. For one thing, I want to try to fit in lunch at Alliance or Pierre Gagnier...if I can
****I’ve been to Paris a couple of times before, so that’s why this itinerary is not crammed with more museums.
I loved the L’Orangerie in particular. I might spend a couple of hours at the D’Orsay on departure day, or maybe in place of the crepe class
I also want to do a nighttime Seine boat cruise, and after hour tour of the Opera Garnier**
Monday Day 1 - arrive from London via Eurostar (morning)
Check into hotel on Ile Ste-Louis

?
Lunch: Les Enfants du Marche

Crepe cooking class 3:30-6:30 pm with chef at Caramel Sarassin
**I MAY cancel - only because it's a big chunk of time, and it would end at an awkward time for dinner (I don't want to eat at 9pm)
I could go to Crêperie de Josselin instead...and then I'd have extra time
