I’m trying to determine whether it’s feasible to get from the Liberation Museum to the start of a Paris by Mouth tour in the Left Bank in 35 minutes (40 minutes maximum) on a Sunday morning or whether my latest plan is a recipe for disaster.
According to city mapper, it’s a 30 minute walk or 20 minute metro ride from the Liberation Museum to our Rue Monge hotel. From there I’m assuming maybe a 10 minute walk to wherever the food tour begins. I’m assuming City Mapper doesn’t account for wait times for the Metro or getting a wee bit lost on a walk. I don’t know whether we could easily get a taxi from the museum on a Sunday morning or whether that could shorten the trip?
My “brilliant idea” had been to be at the Liberation Museum at 10:00 a.m. when it opens on Sunday morning to purchase tickets for the underground bunker tour at 4:30 that afternoon. Bunker tours can only be purchased at the museum on the day you wish to take the tour, and they apparently fill up quickly.
We hoped to take a food tour from 11:00-2:00, rest for an hour, and arrive at the museum at 3:30. There is almost no chance underground tour tickets will still be available if we wait until 3:30 to purchase them. However I’ve confirmed with the museum that it is possible to stop by the museum in the morning, purchase bunker tickets, and then return for the museum and bunker tours later in the day.
However, now I’m beginning to think it might not be possible to purchase the tickets with adequate time to get back to the Left Bank and start of the food tour (I’m assuming we’ll need to be there about 10 minutes in advance). Could someone with some knowledge of getting around Paris weigh in on this? Would taking a taxi be viable and time saving? Or should we just scrap this plan altogether? I don’t think there’s any other time we can slot the Liberation Museum into our agenda.
Thanks!
