My "Paris Express" 3-Day Itinerary

I tried to build the most practical yet complete 3-day itinerary for first-time visitors to Paris... and for those who are coming back.
I chose the best neighborhood to optimize travel, selected 3 excellent yet affordable 4-star hotels, and the 3 day itineraries come with plenty of practical transport, pricing, time spent information.

    Great itinerary, adding Jardin du Luxembourg instead of ugly Montparnasse tower, but at least you can't see it from the top..! A waring for those thinking of Paris next summer, hotels charging insane prices, Hôtel Rochechouart four weeks before the start of the Olympics usually is about 220€, but for 2024 it is 1,660€ for the same room. All the four and five star hotels I looked at yesterday are the same.🤑

    The good thing about Montparnasse Tower is that, when you're on it, you don't see it! Hotel prices are indeed going crazy next summer. In fact, if you're not into sport, make sure not to come to Paris next summer!

    Literally the video I have been looking for 😍. Thank you so much for a well laid out itinerary. I am visiting Paris for 5 days and will most likely follow this recommended itinerary. Given the number of stops and attractions you recommend, do you think it is worth getting the "Paris Museum Pass" to save on costs. Or it is preferred to making bookings and reservations using individual websites

    I've heard food service in Paris can be slow. About how long does it take to complete lunch or dinner? And how early do I need to make reservations?

  • @paristoptips

    @paristoptips

    2 ай бұрын

    It really depends on the restaurant. At local restaurants at lunch during weekdays, the service will be quite fast as it's meant for office workers to eat during their meridian pause. At dinner, it can be more relax, you should count on 1h30 to 2 hours. Also, it will be very rare to be able to have dinner before 7PM. As for reservations, once again, it depends on the restaurant. For Michelin-starred restaurant you should do that at least a month in advance. Same for those that have social media hype.

    The metro in Paris is very NOT friendly for people with wathever kind of disabilities, so UBER might be the best option. We don't have a tradition of Xmas walk as they would have in the UK. Our traditions for Christmas in Paris are Christmas markets (in many parts of the city), Christmas windows at Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, beautifully decorated Christmas trees and more lightings than ever making Paris look absolutely amazingly beautiful before Xmas. I don't know of anyone who would do this, but if you want to visit a nice Xmas market one day, I'd be happy to show you one!
