Map for your 4 Day Paris Itinerary

Day 1 in Paris

The Louvre

Welcome to Paris. We’re going to start off strong this morning by visiting the Louvre. There’s no way you haven’t heard of this iconic art museum, but I’ll run you through a couple ways to tackle it.

What you may not know is that the Louvre is massive. It houses 35,000 pieces in 652,300 square feet…or for my Americans over 11 football fields! They say that if you spent 30 seconds to look at each piece, it would take you 200 days to see everything. Obviously, that’s kind of overwhelming so it helps if you go into it with a game plan.

But first, the entrance. I read everywhere that the lines at the pyramid entrance can get ridiculously long and was recommended to try the Porte des Lions entrance on Quai Francois Mitterrand.

It did have a line, but it moved very quickly! A couple things to note here, you do need a ticket already to enter here (there’s no ticket window). You also want to make sure you do not have a large bag or helmet as there are no lockers at this entrance. Lastly, it’s closed on Fridays.

If you need another entrance, you can enter at the Pyramid entrance or Carrousel entrance.

Now onto our game plan for tackling the museum. Luckily, the Louvre has a couple recommended routes you can follow, including the highlights featured in Beyonce and Jay-Z’s music video for APESH*T…because why not. Still, I’ll share what I did because I was really satisfied with my experience.

I started with their Masterpieces trail, which gives you exact directions to several recognizable pieces. However, I jumped straight to The Winged Victory of Samothrace located in the Denon wing, Level 1, room 703.

I followed their recommended path through the Grand Galerie, which features Italian Renaissance pieces, and on to the Mona Lisa, which is so much smaller than you may think. There is a structured queue to get close and center to the Mona Lisa. However, you can get pretty close just walking on the sides behind the wall it sits on.

For me, the star of the Mona Lisa room was actually on the opposite wall: The Wedding Feast at Cana. It’s over 6 meters high (~20 feet) and 10 meters wide (~33 feet)!

You can keep following the Masterpieces Trail to see other highlights. One room I loved and highly recommend was the Galerie d’Apollon. It was one of the most gorgeous rooms just on its own with lavish painted ceiling and gold details. Plus, it holds the French crown jewels and when I was there an Yves St Laurent exhibit.

Metro stop: Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre (lines 1 and 7)

Lunch at Café Marly

Once you’ve had your fill of the Louvre, however impossible it may be, make your way out of the museum and over to Café Marly for lunch. Somewhat of an Insta-famous restaurant, Café Marly has the best views of the Louvre pyramid since the restaurant sits along the open buildings surrounding it.

I highly highly recommend making reservations ahead of time because it can get quite crowded and walk-up seating is not guaranteed.

While the food isn’t the most magnificent offering in Paris, it’s still tasty and the views more than make up for the hefty price tag. I do recommend the Louvre tea, a specially blended blueberry black tea.

Metro stop: Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre (lines 1 and 7)

Admire some of Paris’s public spaces

Les Colonnes de Buren

After lunch, you won’t want to miss Les colonnes de Buren, a public art installation within walking distance from the Louvre. It features black and white striped columns of varying height making a great photo backdrop.

Jardin du Palais Royal

If you keep walking, you’ll soon be in Jardin du Palais Royal, a lovely public garden with lots of seating, a beautiful fountain and flowers.

Metro stop: Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre (lines 1 and 7)

Indulge in decadent hot chocolate at Angelina

This afternoon at 3pm, I also recommend visiting Angelina for their afternoon tea, just a few blocks away (or one Metro stop to Tuileries). If you have more time to kill until 3pm, explore Jardin des Tuileries, which borders the Louvre complex.

Angelina is one of the cutest cafés in Paris, and they’re known for their insanely delicious hot chocolate.

Once it’s afternoon teatime (or a few minutes before), start lining up at Angelina. They don’t take reservations for afternoon tea, but by lining up a bit early, I only waited 30 minutes to get in.

This restaurant is quite famous for their hot chocolate and Mont-Blanc pastry. Luckily, you can try both in one shot with their afternoon tea special for 30€, which comes with a tiered tray of sandwiches, pastries, and either tea or hot chocolate…trust me, you want the hot chocolate.

In the summer, you can also get chocolate ice cream and if you just want to try the hot chocolate and Mont-Blanc, you can go straight inside to the counter to the right and purchase both without waiting to sit at a table.

Metro stop: Tuileries (line 1)

Shopping with a view

To cap off your activities for the day, head to Galleries Lafayette Haussmann for sunset. This is a department store, but really feels like a mall. And you might be thinking…why on earth are you sending me to a mall??

The magic of Galleries Lafayette is its architecture and location. Once you step foot inside and start ascending to the higher floors, you’ll quickly notice the most incredible stained-glass dome. It’s honestly an unreal sight that makes the trip worth it alone,

However, even more so, you can keep going up to the roof (level 8) where there is a large open space with viewing platforms with some of the best views of the city including the Opera and Eiffel Tower in the distance.

Even better, both experiences are free!

Of course, you’re welcome to shop…it is a mall after all. If you were looking for French clothes, handbags, books, kitchen items, or shoes, this is the spot!

Be sure to bring your passport with you so you can stop by the tax refund center on the first floor (look for the Détaxe sign). After minimal paperwork, you set yourself up to receive a tax refund on the items you purchased if over 100€.

Metro stop: Chaussée d’Antin – La Fayette (line 7 and 9)

An unexpected dinner

For dinner, I highly recommend Jah Jah by Le Tricycle. This afro-vegan restaurant might sound like an odd pick when you’re surrounded by exquisite French cuisine, but this was one of the most memorable meals I had in France!

You can’t make reservations, but the wait isn’t too long, especially if you’re willing to share a table (a great way to socialize if traveling solo in Paris).

I had the Bol Chaud (hot bowl) that came with a delicious curry and lots of veggie sides – all delicious and only 13€! The family next to me ordered cauliflower wings and those also looked so good!

Metro stop: Strasbourg Saint-Denis (line 9) or Château d’Eau (line 4)

[convertkit form=5064232]

Day 2

Eiffel Tower

…but first, photos or it didn’t happen

You didn’t think we’d be putting off the Eiffel Tower forever, did you? Today’s the day!

Start by grabbing breakfast from your hotel or a boulangerie near you.

Make your way to the Eiffel Tower in the morning to capture some photos before it gets too crowded.

I have a few favorite photo spots, or leave it to a local professional, and go on a photo session tour.

• Avenue dé Camöens (closest Metro stop: Trocadéro on lines 6 and 9)
• Jardins du Trocadéro (same Metro stop)
• Rue de l’Université (closest Metro stop: Alma Marçeau on line 9)
• Jardin de la Tour Eiffel (surrounding the Eiffel Tower)
• Carousel de la Tour Eiffel (closest Metro stop: Trocadéro on lines 6 and 9 or Bir-Hakeim on line 6)

A note on photo-taking, please remember that this is a popular area with moving cars…that can kill you. I can’t tell you how many people I saw straddling the line in the middle of the road on Pont d’Iéna (the bridge leading up to the Eiffel Tower). They were seriously one vehicle swerve away from death.

Once you’ve taken all the photos, you may be tempted to go to the top of the tower. A couple things to take into account here. First, you can take the stairs or the elevator. You’re absolutely going to want tickets ahead of time because the lines can get long and the availability can sell out.

If you’ve always wanted to go to the top, do it! However, if you’re looking for the best views of Paris, you’re probably picturing the Eiffel Tower in that view. If you’re standing on it…it’s not in your view so turns out Paris kind of just looks like another European city.

The better view of Paris: Arc de Triomphe

If you want the best views of Paris including the Eiffel Tower, a better option is to go to the top of Arc de Triomphe. It’s half the price of the Eiffel Tower, and the view is spectacular.

You will need to climb the 274 stairs, but if you have a disability or are pregnant, you can use the elevator.

Metro stop: Kléber (line 6) or Charles de Gaulle – Étoile (line 1)

Food tour in Le Marais

For the second activity of your day you’ll be doing a food tour. I am a BIG fan of food tours, especially in foodie cities because you really get a great feel for what dishes the city is known for.

Depending on your timing, there are plenty of options for late morning or late afternoon and evenings.

I recommend a food tour of Le Marais, aka the 4^th arrondissement. This district is removed enough from the tourist area that the food is better with a quaint Jewish quarter, charming restaurants, and one of the oldest markets in the city, Marche des Enfants Rouge.

Food tours typically take 2-3 hours and will have you sampling some of the best bites in Le Marais.

On mine, I tried croissants, éclairs, choux, cheese, falafel, macrons, and wine! Needless to say, you won’t walk away hungry.

I recommend bringing a water bottle because not every tour comes with beverages.

Metro stop: many, but an easy one to get to is Saint-Paul on line 1

If you still have time today, you can take a Seine River cruise or bring a picnic to the Seine for a light and inexpensive dinner.

Rest up, because tomorrow is a big day with lots of walking.

[convertkit form=5064232]

Day 3

Self-guided walking tour of Montmartre

Today you’ll be tackling some of the most classic Paris sights, starting with Montmartre.

Located in the 18^th arrondissement, the area of Montmartre sits atop the largest hill in Paris, so naturally some of the best views of the city are seen from up here!

The big attraction in Montmartre is Basilica of Sacré-Cœur, which boasts the highest point in the city!

To get to Montmartre, take Metro line 2 to Anvers then walk north on Rue de Steinkerque, where after a couple steep blocks, you’ll run into Square Louise Michel, the garden with paths that lead to Sacré-Cœur.

While you can walk up the hill through the garden, there’s an easier way. To the left of the garden is a funicular that is operated by the Metro. So, yes, you can use your Metro pass to take the short funicular ride up the hill.

It can get very crowded, especially in the summer, so be patient and bring water to stay hydrated!

Once you reach the top, you can head inside Sacré-Cœur for free. There is a security check and it is an operational place of worship so be respectful, quiet, and follow the posted rules as far photography and videography.

If you want to climb the stairs into the dome, the entrance is just to the left of the main entrance doors, once you’ve passed the security check. It costs 6€ each and there are stairs.

I opted out (1) because I thought the views from the steps out front were good enough for me and (2) because it was a 90+ degree (F) day and I couldn’t fathom climbing anymore stairs with no reprieve of AC…yes, I am very accustomed to my American luxuries.

After you’ve made the rounds in Sacré-Cœur, make your way to the left of the building (in the west direction) toward Rue Norvins, to explore the town a bit. It’s exactly what you’re probably thinking of when you think of quintessential Paris charm.

You can easily take a self-guided walking tour of Montmartre. Once on Rue Norvins, continue straight then turn right on Rue des Saules. Here, you’ll run into La Maison Rose, a very popular Instagram spot. It’s a pink building on the corner with ivy covered walls.

Please, please, please be respectful in this area. There are cars and buses that run on these small cobblestone streets so don’t be jumping out in the middle of the road for your photo…this is why Parisians may come off as rude to all tourists…because they’re doing stupid, disrespectful sh*t. I know that’s probably not you, but please keep it in mind. Okay rant over.

At La Maison Rose, take a left on Rue de l’Abreuvoir until you reach the bust of Dalida, who was a comedian and singer from this area. It’s said if you touch her breasts, you’ll have good luck!

Follow the road around to the left (now technically Rue Girardon) until you reach Le Passe-Muraille. This is a sculpture of a man who looks like he’s coming out of the wall! He’s a fun photo spot.

Keep walking on Rue Girardon to Le Moulin Blute-Fin, a historic windmill painted by Van Gogh, atop the restaurant Le Moulin de la Galette, the site of Renoir’s painting Bal du moulin de la Galette.

Head down to Rue d’Orchampt, an almost continuation of Rue Girardon, that will lead you to a small park on the right and a former home of Picasso, called Place Émile Goudeau.

Continue down the hill, down Rue Ravignan and take a left on Rue des Abbesses. You’ll reach a town center with a carousel, Metro station entrance, and nearby on the left, a park that is home to Le Mur des Je t’aime (or the “I Love You” mural).

That’s Montmartre! Cute, right?!

A classic French lunch

I bet all that walking has you hungry for lunch, so keep heading down the hill on Rue Houdon or Rue Germain Pilon until you reach Boulevard de Clichy. Navigate to Bouillon Pigalle, which is to the right of Rue Houdon and to the left of Rue Germain Pilon. This is your lunch spot!

Known for their iconic French food and low price-point, you’ll definitely find something you’ll love! I had the French onion soup and steak frites (steak and fries), which was all delicious. I can’t comment on how stellar the French onion soup was because it was my first time ever trying it, but I liked it!

The ambience was great too! Close quartered tables, open windows, and mirrors on the walls making it feel like a large restaurant. I recommend making reservations to skip the queue.

Moulin Rouge

Once you’ve had your fill, head west on Bd de Clichy either by walking or take the Metro from Pigalle to Blanche on line 2, which brings you to the Moulin Rouge.

I don’t care if you’re a fan of the movie, French history, or none of the above, seeing this windmill in action is so neat! If it’s been a dream of yours to see a show, I recommend securing tickets ahead of time. Sunday brunch tickets are cheapest!

*If you want to see an evening Moulin Rouge show, I suggest flip-flopping this day, where you have a relaxing morning, touring Montmartre in the afternoon, grabbing dinner at Bouillon Pigalle, then seeing your show.

**Highly recommend returning at night to see it lit up!

A relaxing afternoon and evening

This afternoon, take a much needed break or explore the city a bit on your own. Part of the magic of Paris is discovering all the little things on your own. Wandering a bit, indulging in the café culture, or relaxing in a park.

Even if you go back to your hotel and relax for a bit, take the afternoon for yourself.

If you’re looking for something more to do before the evening activities, I recommend touring the Opera (a good Versailles alternative), taking a cooking class, or checking out a museum that interests you…because there are so many! For example, the Picasso Museum, the Sewer Museum, or Musée de l’Orangerie that has impressionist pieces.

For dinner, try the TikTok-famous Italian restaurant, Pink Mama, or the super beautiful Le Train Bleu.

See the city of lights with a night tour

After dinner, I recommend a night tour. Paris is the city of lights afterall, so naturally seeing it lit up at night is an experience you can’t miss!

I did mine with Airbnb Experiences, where the local tour guide met me at Trocadéro then drove me and a mom and son to the sights. We visited the Eiffel Tower at 12am promptly to see the light show that happens every night on the hour. He took us to a secluded spot in the gardens so despite the summer crowds, we had the show to ourselves.

We also visited the Louvre pyramid and Place Vendôme. At the end, he dropped each group off at their hotels, so you didn’t have to take the Metro so late at night, which was perfect as a solo traveler!

I truly can’t recommend it enough!

Day 4

Musée d’Orsay

You’ve made it to your final day in Paris (I’m crying with you, don’t worry)! Let’s make it a memorable one!

Start your morning at one of the best museums in Paris (imo), Musée d’Orsay, which not only houses the most beautiful impressionist art, but occupies a gorgeous old train station with stunning architecture that’s a star in its own right.

First, as with all major attractions, I recommend you purchase your tickets ahead of time. This will guarantee you entry and allow you to skip to a shorter queue.

*Tip: If you have a Cultivist Membership (on your own or via a Capital One Venture X card), you can get tickets for free! Just request via their customer service email.

The Musée d’Orsay is 6 stories (although in France, the ground floor is level 0 so the top is actually level 5). You’ll enter on Level 0 and can make your way around the museum in a circle, going up to the top as you go.

If you arrive in the late morning, I recommend starting from the top and working your way down instead, since most visitors will go bottom to top naturally. If you walk in and head straight to back left of the museum, there is an escalator that will take you straight up to Level 5.

Here you’ll find the back of the clock, a popular photo spot. On the opposite walls are some of my personal favorites by Toulouse Lautrec.

The main impressionist gallery is on this level with works by Cézanne, Degas, Monet, Manet, and Renoir. You’ll probably find some paintings you recognize. Consult the map for the most popular works in the museum (and their locations).

Level 3 and 4 only actually have small pavilion galleries; they don’t have entire floors to see, so you actually can see the whole museum in a day (unlike the Louvre).

Level 2 is full of sculptures, which are massive and intricate. Be sure to pop into the galleries that lie deeper into the museum than the sculpture terraces, which are centered out in the open.

Finally, don’t miss the rotating exhibits on the ground floor in the back right corner. When I visited there was an incredible model display of the Paris Opéra and other landmarks in the city.

Metro stop: Solférino (line 12) or Tuileries (line 1)

Lunch on your own

While there is a café in Musée d’Orsay, there are plenty of other restaurants and cafes nearby for better food and fewer people.

Les Deux Magots is a historic brasserie that opened in 1885. If you’re looking to indulge in the slow café culture, this is a great spot for that. Plus, it’s on the way to our next activity.

Another option is to head to the next activity then choose a restaurant nearby that you find. This can be so fun in Paris, because the food really is incredible at most places!

The Paris Catacombs

Our next stop is the Catacombs! If you’re not into the macabre or spooky destinations, I urge you to still consider visiting the Catacombs. Not only is it an immensely interesting visit, but it’s a unique part of Paris that tells an important part of its history.

As with everything, I recommend purchasing tickets in advance so you can join the shorter queue.

Each ticket comes with an audio tour that will point out important landmarks and share history and tidbits as you go through.

The tour takes about an hour and a half to complete.

You do need to be able to use stairs as there are about 80 down and 80 back up on a winding staircase (yes, you might get a little dizzy).

The tour starts with the construction of the catacombs and you follow the tunnels to the ossuary (where the bones are). There is a great little lobby space before entering the ossuary with detailed signs about the origin of the bones, why they were buried here, and lots of interesting information to get you going.

I thought it was especially interesting that modern scientists removed some bones for study and replaced them exactly as they had found them with the approval of the French government! Huzzah for science!

In the ossuary, I personally didn’t find it creepy or morbid, but fascinating instead. There really is a lot to learn and observe.

Although, I will say, I don’t recommend watching As Above, So Below before your visit, because the sectioned off pitch black tunnels will have you second-guessing the creepy factor.

Metro stop: Denfert-Rochereau (line 4)

Crêpes with a view

Before heading to our final activity, it’s crêpe time! I’m sharing my favorite crêperie that was actually the first place I ever tried crêpes! And, turns out, it’s one of the best in Paris vetted by locals and other travel bloggers…what are the odds!

Head to the Metro to line 4 and get off at Saint-Michel Notre-Dame. Walk the short ways to Crêperie des Arts on Rue Saint-André des Arts. There is a small window where you can order a crêpe for 5€ or less!

I always go with a classic Nutella or Nutella and strawberry but the lemon and sugar always looks great too!

I recommend walking over to Notre Dame to admire the cathedral while enjoying your warm, fresh crêpe. Once you’ve finished, you can enter Notre Dame Cathedral for free. However, access to the crypt is restricted since the fire.

Saint-Chapelle

Finally, saving the best for last, walk across the island (Île de la Cité) to Saint-Chapelle. This is by far my favorite religious building in Paris. It’s just magical in a way that the others could never compare to for me.

The draw of Saint-Chapelle is its ornate 360-degree stained glass windows. Built in the 13^th century in the Gothic style, the windows follow the stories of the Bible in chronological order around the room. Even if you aren’t religious, you can’t help but be in awe at these windows.

I probably sound like a parrot by now, but definitely get tickets ahead of time. The queue can get quite long, especially in the summer. I didn’t have tickets but purchased them online while waiting in the queue for the ticket window. Then, I popped out of line and walked straight in!

So worth it!

Metro stop: Cité (line 4)

One last dinner

For dinner, I recommend another picnic on the Seine by the Eiffel Tower to take it in one last time and catch the Eiffel Tower light show.

Alternatively, I quite enjoyed Le Musset on Rue Saint-Honoré. I sat outside under lavish blue flowers decorating the building. This type of décor has become quite popular for Paris cafés as Instagram culture has taken such a hold.

Still, the food was great and so was the people-watching!

One more day? Here are some ideas

If you have an extra day, I recommend carving out the time to visit Versailles or Disneyland Paris. While I haven’t yet made it to Versailles, I can tell you that both attractions are beyond Metro zones 1-3 so you’ll need a special Metro ticket to get there.

Another day trip from Paris I recommend is Mont Saint Michel. It is 3 hours from Paris so it would certainly be a long day, but it’s a stunning sight that is on many people’s bucket lists, mine included. Unfortunately, public transportation can be a bit tricky to Mont Saint Michel, so a guided tour that includes transport is best!

Where to Stay in Paris

I’ve only been to Paris twice, so I’m not here to pretend that I have some deep insider scoop. What I can say is that I’ve stayed in two hotels, both in Le Marais (4^th arrondissement) and both were wonderful and I feel very good recommending them to you!

First, on my most recent trip, I stayed at Temple de Jeanne in a single room. The room itself was perfect with a comfortable bed, exemplary AC, beautiful city views, and great complimentary breakfast each morning. The location was superb with the Saint-Paul Metro station just steps from the hotel and within 1 block, there was a pharmacy, boulangerie, and grocery market.

Plus, the hotel had round the clock security, which made it feel even more safe than it already was!

The employees were super nice, helped with my bags, and even helped me to send a postcard. Truly can’t recommend it enough!

The other place I’ve stayed, albeit as a kid, was Hotel Residence des Arts. I remember the breakfast was good! The location is also great right next to the Saint-Michel Notre Dame Metro station and Crêperie des Arts (both wonderful and dangerous…for your wallet and stomach).

This hotel is great if you’re into nightlife because right next door is an Irish pub. They can be quite rowdy, so it’s not the quietest stay. However, if that sounds like your jam or you don’t mind blocking out some sound, definitely consider this hotel.

How to get to Paris from CDG Airport

This was my biggest anxiety-inducer on my most recent solo trip to Paris. Luckily, it’s really much easier than it might seem.

You’ll see big signs in the airport to RER B. That’s the train you’ll need to take into Paris. You’ll want to buy tickets on the kiosks before going to the platform and it will cost ~11€. The kiosks are easy to spot, so try not to stress (I know, easier said than done).

Head to the platform and get on either train. This was a big point of confusion for me. I was so worried I was getting on the wrong one because neither is labeled (whyyyy). But they’re unlabeled because they’re both the same RER B train. I asked a contrôleur, I promise!

And, just FYI. Your RER B ticket includes transfers if you don’t exit the Metro station so you can get off at Châtelet (a major hub) and transfer with the same ticket to a new line.

What to bring to Paris

Aside from your usual essentials, I recommend a couple things:

• PacSafe anti-pickpocketing bag – I’m obsessed with mine! It features locking zippers and pockets so you don’t lose any valuables.
• SafetyWing travel insurance – Never travel without insurance. I love SafetyWing because they’re simple and cover both health and travel insurance!
• Comfortable shoes – Please learn from me…I brought (old) comfortable shoes that were not built to last and my time in Paris destroyed them…and my feet. I threw them out in Paris and bought Adidas Superstars to replace them, which are the perfect comfy, European style shoe (and the Stan Smiths).
• Google Maps and Translate downloaded offline – You can download both of these offline to be able to use abroad and in underground Metro stations when you lose service. Truly essential.

How to get around Paris

You’ve probably figured out that the Metro is your best friend in Paris. There are also buses and trains if you need it!

And honestly, walking is also super manageable in Paris! You might find that the streets are drawing you in and you can’t help but follow. There are also rideshares in Paris including Uber.

Is 4 days in Paris enough time?

Paris is one of those places that take years to fully experience. However, if you’re short on time or a traveler with a 9-5 (or in college), 4 days can be just right!

I visited in 4 days and I’m quite proud of how much I was able to see, so I do really think it’s possible to cross a lot off in just 4 days.

Where’s the breakfast, lady?

You astute reader you! If you’re new to Periodic Adventures, let me just say, breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, so I haven’t skipped over it without intention.

Rather, I’m banking on your hotel providing free daily breakfast or your resourcefulness to scout a boulangerie near you and cover breakfast on your own.

Paris is full of cafes and restaurants, but breakfast isn’t typically something lavish. Breads, jams, Nutella, and butter will do. And, you certainly don’t need me reiterating that daily.
