Day 1 — Île de la Cité and the Left Bank
Start in the historic core: the Île de la Cité (Notre-Dame from outside, Sainte-Chapelle), then the Latin Quarter, the Panthéon and the Luxembourg gardens. Finish in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. All on foot.
Day 2 — Louvre, Tuileries and the Champs-Élysées
A Right Bank day: the Louvre (book a slot), the Tuileries, Place de la Concorde, then the Champs-Élysées up to the Arc de Triomphe.
Day 3 — Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower
In the morning, Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur. In the afternoon, the Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro, with a Seine cruise at sunset.
