It’s no secret that Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And if you’ve ever wanted to visit but don’t know where to start, don’t worry—we have you covered. Whether you have a week or two days in the French capital, these are some of our favourite places to visit and how we would spend them!
Day 1
You’ll want to spend the first day of your trip visiting some of Paris’ most famous landmarks. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most iconic structures in all of France, so make sure you make it up there for an unforgettable experience. You’ll also want to visit the Louvre–it’s one of the largest museums in Europe and houses some incredible artworks like Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus de Milo.
Finally, don’t forget about Notre Dame Cathedral! This Gothic-style cathedral was built between 1163 and 1345 (that’s a long time ago) but still looks as beautiful today as ever before. It’s definitely worth checking out while you’re in town!
Day 2
If you’re up for a challenge, try to see as much of Paris as possible in one day. Start with the Louvre and then head over to the Eiffel Tower. From there, walk along the Seine River until you reach Notre Dame cathedral or explore some of Paris’s many beautiful parks.
Because this is your only full day in Paris and because it’s so big, we recommend taking public transportation (the metro) rather than walking everywhere since it will save time and energy!
Day 3
Day 3: The Louvre, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower
The Louvre is the most famous museum in Paris and one of the largest art galleries in the world. It’s home to over 35,000 works of art including some of Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous paintings like Mona Lisa. You’ll also find Egyptian mummies here as well as some sculptures by Michelangelo and Raphael. After you’ve explored all there is to see at The Louvre, head over to Notre Dame Cathedral which was built on top of an ancient Roman temple where they worshipped Jupiter (or Zeus). This church has been around since 1163 when it was built by Maurice de Sully but it wasn’t completed until 1345 after being damaged during wars with England between 1202-1204 and again between 1418-1444 when much damage was done by invaders led by Joan d’Arc who used this church as her base during battle against English troops trying desperately not only save France from invasion but also liberate them from their own king who had turned against them after becoming sickened by all those years fighting off foreign invaders trying take over his land! Lastly visit Eiffel Tower which has become so iconic that even if someone mentions going there without explaining what exactly they’re referring too then chances are high enough people know exactly what they mean even if – like me – never actually visited myself before reading this article today because wowza good job guys!!
Day 4
- Day 4: Versailles, Louvre, Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame (or Montmartre)
- Day 5: Museums, Markets & Monet’s Gardens (or Picasso Museum)
- Day 6: Shopping in Paris & Food Tour (or Biking Around Town)
Day 5
- Visit the Louvre. The Louvre is one of the world’s largest museums and has over 35,000 works on display. It houses some of the most famous art in history, including paintings by Michelangelo, Botticelli and da Vinci.
- Go see Notre Dame Cathedral. Built between 1163-1345 AD this Gothic style cathedral is located on an island in the Seine River where you can enjoy stunning views of Parisian skyline from its bell tower (if you’re brave enough!).
- Take a walk down Champs Elysees Avenue for some shopping or grab lunch at Fouquet’s Barriere restaurant which was featured in Sex & The City movie series! If you want something more casual try Cafe Crepe Breton where crepes are made fresh daily using only natural ingredients such as eggs from free range chickens or buckwheat flour sourced locally in Brittany region where they originated from centuries ago – very healthy indeed! This place also offers gluten free options so don’t worry if someone has food allergies 🙂
Day 6
- Visit the Rodin Museum. It’s one of my favorite places in Paris, and it’s just a short walk from where you’re staying. You can spend hours wandering around and admiring all of Auguste Rodin’s sculptures–and if you’re lucky enough to be visiting on a Sunday, they will be hosting an open-air market where local artisans sell their wares!
- See the Mona Lisa in person at the Louvre (or at least get as close as possible). This is probably one of those things that everyone who has ever been to Paris has done already; but if not, now is your chance! The lines may be long but they move quickly and once inside it feels like there are endless rooms filled with artworks–you could easily spend days exploring here without seeing everything there is to see…or get overwhelmed by trying too hard 🙂 Either way though remember: “La Joconde” was painted centuries ago so don’t expect perfection when approaching her face level up close…
Explore the city with these plans.
- Explore the city by bike.
- Visit the Louvre.
- Take a boat ride down the Seine and see Paris from another angle.
- Visit Notre Dame, one of Paris’s most famous landmarks (and also a great place for photos).
- Take a walking tour of Montmartre, which has its own history and culture that you might not learn about otherwise! It’s also home to several artists’ studios, so you could even try your hand at painting something yourself–or just watch other people do it!
You can also visit Sacre Coeur if you want some beautiful views over Paris as well as some history: this church was built in 1876 after being commissioned by Pope Pius IX following his visit here four years earlier where he saw how much poverty existed in this part of town at that time; so this was meant as both an act of charity towards those who lived there then but also intended as something positive for them spiritually too since most churches are places where Christians go regularly throughout life rather than just once every few months or years like many other places might require instead.”
Conclusion
Paris is a city of history, culture, and beauty. It’s easy to see why so many people want to visit this place at least once in their lives. If you’re looking for some ideas on how best to spend your time here, these seven days are sure to give you an amazing experience!
