Day 1: Arrival & iconic Parisian evening
Arrive in Paris and transfer to your hotel to check in and freshen up after your journey.
Spend the afternoon settling in or taking a gentle stroll through your neighborhood to get your first feel for the city’s rhythm and charm.
In the early evening, make your way to the Eiffel Tower—whether you admire it from below, visit the second floor, or head to the summit, it’s an unforgettable introduction to Paris.
End your first night with dinner near the Eiffel Tower, at Le Jules Verne or Les Ombres, enjoying classic French cuisine as the tower sparkles above you, setting the tone for a magical Parisian getaway.
Day 2: Historic Paris & evening elegance
Begin your day with a visit to the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, taking time to admire its stunning Gothic architecture and historic surroundings along the Seine.
Afterward, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the nearby streets, where charming boutiques, bookshops, and cafés invite you to shop, explore, and soak in the Parisian atmosphere.
Pause for lunch at a local bistro such as Au Viux Paris d’Arcole before continuing your wander through this vibrant neighborhood.
In the evening, dress up for a memorable night at the Paris Opera House, where an unforgettable performance in a breathtaking setting adds a touch of glamour to your Paris experience.
Stop at Café de la Paix, an iconic, historic café near the Paris Opera House, ideal for a pre- or post-performance dinner with timeless Parisian elegance.
Day 3: Art, history & masterpieces
Dedicate your final day to exploring the world-renowned Louvre Museum, home to some of the most celebrated works of art and history.
Highly recommended is a guided tour, which brings the museum to life by highlighting must-see masterpieces—such as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo—while sharing fascinating stories and context you might otherwise miss. With expert insight, navigating this vast museum becomes both effortless and enriching.
Afterward, enjoy a relaxed afternoon nearby, reflecting on your Parisian journey before departure or one last café stop at Cafe Marly or Le Fumoir.
Need to know
Getting around: Paris is very walkable, and the metro is efficient, affordable, and easy to use. A multi-day transit pass can be a great value for sightseeing.
Timing & reservations: Popular attractions (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Opera House) often sell out—booking tickets or guided tours in advance is highly recommended.
Dining etiquette: Meals are meant to be enjoyed slowly. Don’t be surprised if service feels unhurried; that’s part of the Parisian dining culture. It’s also not uncommon for dinner reservations to be much later in the evening than in the States, so be mindful of that when planning.
Language tips: While many locals speak English, learning a few French phrases like bonjour and merci goes a long way and is always appreciated.
Comfort & style: Comfortable walking shoes are essential, but Parisians tend to dress polished—smart casual attire fits in well.
Safety & awareness: Paris is generally safe, but be mindful of pickpockets in crowded tourist areas and on public transport.
