Prettiest / Interesting Best Walk from Eiffel Tower back to La Marias

Eiffel Tower - rue Saint Dominique - Invalides - rue de Grenelle - Saint Sulpice - Odéon - Notre Dame /square Viviani - Île Saint Louis - rue des Barres would be a nice walking route back to the Marais.

I love my naps. But when I'm in Paris they can wait until I return home. On the other hand, if you think you will need a nap to due to being tired, then you might want to consider taking a boat back to the area of your hotel. Almost as scenic as a walk, but not as tireing. We once tried to walk from the Eiffel Tower back to Notre Dame, but only made it half way before opting for a pedi-cab. It's farther than it looks on the map.

So, Arc de Triomphe to the Eiffel Tower, along the Right Bank to the Marais looks to be about 8 km. If you took a metro to the start point right after breakfast, you should have ample time for an afternoon nap.

We just returned from Paris and stayed in Le Marais. The walk back from the Eiffel Tower is great. You can pass by the Hotel des Invalides where Napoleon's tomb is located. Over to the Seine and walk by/to the Musee d' Orsay or cut across the bridge to the Louvre. If you keep going on the Orsay side I usually walk up to Shakespeare and Company book store and then cut across to Notre Dame and back into the Marais district that way. It's a long walk but lots of rewards along the way. Enjoy!

Thanks Guys! Really Helpful! Getting excited!

Can someone please post some Le Marias Hotel recommendations for a senior citizen couple? Budget around 300 euros/night.
