How to see the most interesting places and Sights of Paris in 1, 2 and 3 days. How to get there and where to stay on a budget.

I’ll say right away that 3 days in Paris is very little if you don’t prepare and plan your route. I've had two trips to Paris, several days each, and I still don't know this city. I can navigate, I know the main attractions, but this is just a ceremonial postcard to show off that I was here.

I will try to combine all the experience and information found on the Internet in order to make life easier for future guests of Paris and systematize memories. This article can be called a small guide to Paris.

Sights of Paris

It is worth preparing in advance for visiting many attractions and purchasing some tickets online. This will allow you to avoid standing in long, hours-long queues and will give you the opportunity to allocate more time to Paris itself.

1. without a queue - 19.5€
2. without a queue - 38€
3. without a queue - 36€
4. skip the line - 12€
5. — 18€
6. — 37€
7. in Russian – 130€

What to see in Paris in 1 day

One of the starting points for a walk around Paris can be Trocadero . This place can be easily reached by metro by getting off at the Trocadero station of the same name.

Why Trocadero? This is where the most famous observation deck in Paris is located, and the views from this platform are shown in many films. It’s worth coming here if you want your first impression of Paris to be exactly as it was from the movies. The only nuance that can ruin everything is the crowds of tourists from early morning until late evening, but this is a disadvantage of all of Paris.

Eiffel Tower

Arriving at Trocadero, let's start the first day with a symbol that leaves no one indifferent. Some admire her, while others, trying to stand out, express their contempt and still take pictures against her background and climb on her, paying their money, to say something like “Finally, she is not visible.”

We are talking about the most famous and one of the most important attractions of Paris - the Eiffel Tower. You can linger here for a long time, it’s not so easy to get around it, and if you also sit on the grass on the Champ de Mars, it may turn out that half a day has already passed.

The queue for the tower is never short, so if your plans include conquering it, then depending on your budget there are two options - purchase tickets in advance and go to the top without the queue.

1. — 49€
2. — 81€.
3. — 42€.

Statue of Liberty

Not far from the Eiffel Tower there is a small replica of the Statue of Liberty. It is located on Swan Island. Looking at it, one involuntarily recalls the world-famous Statue of Liberty in America, which appeared there thanks to France.

Military school

Having returned from the Statue of Liberty to the Eiffel Tower and having spent some time on the Champ de Mars near it, we need to move on. At the end of the Champ de Mars is large complex buildings, this is a Military School.

Home for the Invalids

Many people associate France with Napoleon Bonaparte, and after visiting Paris it is worth visiting his grave, which is located in the Invalides. This is a whole complex of buildings, headed by the cathedral, where Napoleon’s grave is located, as well as sarcophagi with the ashes of other emperors.

• — 11€.

There is also a museum of plans and reliefs and an army museum. The purpose of this complex has not yet changed; war veterans are still staying here today.

Montparnasse Tower

Now it’s worth heading to the Montparnasse skyscraper, from the roof of which you can take the best photographs of both the Eiffel Tower and Paris itself from a bird’s eye view. This is the highest observation deck in Paris.

• — 15€.

On the 56th floor there is an indoor area with a restaurant, and on the 59th floor there is an open area. The remaining floors are occupied by offices of various companies.

Pantheon

After leaving the tower we head to another majestic building, the Pantheon. Here are the ashes or a piece of soil from the graves of the most prominent people in France. The road to it will lie through the Luxembourg Gardens. Admission is free.

The Catholic Church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont is located next to the Pantheon, it is located on the Mount of Saint Genevieve. The church contains a tomb containing the relics of the patron saint of Paris, Saint Genevieve.

This is where the sights of Paris on the first day end. Taking into account the time spent on the Champ de Mars and observation deck Montparnasse should be a whole day of sightseeing.

Sights of Paris in 2 days

We will start the second day with another well-known symbol, without which not a single film about Paris can do - this is the Arc de Triomphe, and the day will end with a visit to the Louvre.

Arc de Triomphe

Inside architectural monument there is a museum, and at the very top there is observation deck. Entrance to the site is paid. The queue here is much shorter, but if you want to skip it, I will provide a link to tickets.

• — 12€.

Champs Elysees

Immediately after the Arc de Triomphe the Champs Elysees begin. Many will be disappointed that there are no fields here, and today it is just a street with expensive shops connecting the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe.

Place de la Concorde is hard to miss, as it is located in the center of the city between the Tuileries Garden and the Champs Elysees, its fountains attract attention, and the obelisk is visible from afar.

Tuileries Garden

Located between the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre, the garden has become a must-see on tourist routes. If you're lucky, one of the many outdoor exhibitions will be taking place during your visit.

One of the favorite pastimes of tourists in the Tuileries Garden is to sit around the fountain, basking in the sun and feeding the birds.

After feeding the birds, don’t forget to snack on a French baguette, which in Paris tastes fantastic, especially if you’re even a little hungry.

Place Vendôme

One of the famous squares of Paris and it is located a few minutes from the Tuileries Garden. Do nice photos this area is only possible from a height, because it just doesn't fit into the lens.

The Louvre is one of the main attractions of Paris, one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. The most famous exhibits of the museum are the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa.

It can take a whole day to explore the entire museum, as its huge collection numbers about four hundred thousand exhibits. You can see the art here ancient egypt, the ancient East, see sculptures, study the art of Islam, and also visit halls with fine and graphic arts.

The queue at the Louvre is often no worse than the queue at the Eiffel Tower, so it’s also worth purchasing tickets here in advance, although it costs a little more online.

• without a queue - 19.5 €.

What to see in Paris in 3 days

Day 3 can start with the Sacré-Coeur Basilica as one of the most remote attractions in Paris and gradually move towards the city center to the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral.

Basilica of Sacré-Coeur and Montmartre

To get to the basilica you need to take one of 3 metro lines - M2, M4 or M12 and get off at Anvers, Chateau Rouge or Abbesses stations, respectively. To the left of the basilica there is a funicular to the top of the mountain, for those who find it difficult to climb the steps.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Christ or Sacré-Coeur is a decoration of the Montmartre region and is considered one of the main Catholic churches in the country. The area in front of the basilica allows you to enjoy views of Paris and its surroundings.

Since the basilica is located on a mountain, this is another observation deck with views of Paris from where most of the city is visible.

5 minutes from the basilica in the vicinity of the Montmartre district, you can find an unusual monument in the form of a man half stuck in a wall. This is the hero of Marcel Aimé's story "The Man Walking Through Walls."

Show-Cabaret Moulin Rouge

Coming down the mountain from the basilica, it is difficult to pass by another symbol of Paris, because it was here that the famous Cancan dance was first performed. The cabaret is located on Boulevard Clichy; the building is easily recognizable due to its red mill.

There was a period when this establishment enjoyed a negative reputation, but now even children from 6 years old are allowed to attend the show and you can visit the establishment with the whole family.

Although this is the most famous establishment in the city, there are several other cabarets in Paris that are in no way inferior to the Moulin Rouge. Below is a selection of tickets for alternative cabaret shows. - 11€.

After the opera, we head towards the Ile de la Cité and along the way we will see the lonely Tower of Saint-Jacques.

Which one ancient city happens without the Town Hall. The Paris City Hall has seen a lot, there were various kinds of riots and revolutions, during which it managed to survive, but with the proclamation of the Paris Commune it was completely burned down.

The square and the town hall located on it have the same name Hotel de Ville, which means city palace.

Now you can cross the bridge and explore the Ile de la Cité, where you can see the second most important symbol of Paris, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris or Notre Dame de Paris. This is not only an important building in Paris, but above all the soul and heart of the city. It was built on the island of Cité on the site where there once was a former pagan temple, and after it the Church of St. Stephen.

Palace of Justice and Conciergerie Castle

The huge palace complex, which includes the courts, prosecutor's office and police, is located on the same Ile de la Cité as Notre-Dame de Paris. Today the palace is a huge complex of buildings, the main of which are the Conciergerie Castle (prison), the Sainte Chapelle chapel and the Palace of Justice itself.

The story turned out to be very long, but these are only the main attractions of Paris and a few less significant ones that came across along the road or were nearby. Now you will understand that Paris and 3 days is very little.

Isn't it time to pamper yourself? interesting journey to Paris? – once again we ask ourselves the question and finally answer it in the affirmative! Suppose we decide to go there for the weekend, and therefore it would not be superfluous to think in advance about what to see in Paris in a couple of days. Day one Feel the atmosphere of Paris and have time to visit all the most famous sights in such a short time short term It’s not at all difficult if you plan your route. Let's arm ourselves with a map and go to independent walk around Paris. Forward - for new impressions! The first thing you need to do is go to Champs Elysees , avenue des Champs-Élysées. Be sure to look at it in detail from all sides Arc de Triomphe in the center Charles de Gaulle Square (Place Charles-de-Gaulle, which used to be called Place de l’Étoile) and make small excursion to the side Avenue Foch (avenue Foch) - the most fashionable, and, as many say, the most beautiful avenue, if not in Europe, then at least in all of France.
Avenue Foch in Paris We return to the Champs Elysees and walk past all sorts of shops of famous world brands. We pay special attention to the building of the famous Gaumont film studio, where many French films were shot, including everyone’s favorite comedies with the participation of Pierre Richard and Gerard Depardieu. In the old days, wonderful Christmas markets were already opening on the Champs Elysees at the end of November. They started from the world famous Art Gallery Grand Palace , Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, where you can also find a lot of interesting things - exhibitions of recognized masters of art are constantly held here.
Art Galleries of the Grand Palace

This year, unfortunately, for the first time in many years, the Christmas market will not be presented on the Champs-Elysees, for security reasons.

But this will not stop us from enjoying a wonderful walk along the avenue towards the Ferris wheel and Place de la Concorde (Place de la Concorde). Be sure to take a couple of shots with these sights in the background, and also take a ride on the Ferris wheel to get a bird's eye view of the center of Paris.
Ferris wheel in Paris
Place de la Concorde Having received a lot of positive emotions, we head further towards Louvre, Louvre. Most likely, you will have to wait in front of the entrance in a long, winding line.

For less romantic tourists, it is possible to pre-book tickets on the official website of the museum - www.louvre.fr.

Louvre Through a glass pyramid that has recently appeared on the territory of the museum, we find ourselves in the museum lobby and perform the most banal action - we begin to search for the famous painting “ Mona Lisa » brushes by Leonardo da Vinci. On the way to Gioconda, we admire the greenish walls of the museum and mentally compare it with the much more pleasant Hermitage in St. Petersburg. We reach the painting “La Gioconda” and stand in awe in the crowd of fellow art connoisseurs, mentally wondering what all the fuss is about. In principle, this concludes the mission of the trip to the Louvre. After the Louvre, passing Place Carrousel , or as some call it, Place du Carrousel and Arc de Triomphe Carrousel , heading towards Tuileries garden (le Jardin des Tuileries), where you can sit for a while by a small pond and feed the ever-hungry seagulls.
Place Carrousel and Arc de Triomphe Carrousel
Arc de Triomphe Carrousel It's a pity that it once adjoined the park royal palace we won’t see it, it was burned before us - in the 19th century. Well, let's admire the remaining beauty. Please note that not everywhere there are the usual benches; for the convenience of tired park visitors, there are... chairs. But, wherever you want to sit, in order to avoid embarrassment, be sure to look to see if seagulls have sat down on these chairs in front of you. Let’s sit down and, relax, mentally congratulate ourselves, because today we managed to see several sights at once:

• Champs Elysees
• Arc de Triomphe at Place Charles de Gaulle
• Avenue Foch
• Ferris wheel
• Place de la Concorde
• Louvre and the world famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
• Place Carrousel
• Tuileries garden

Quite a lot for one day! Having inhaled plenty of fresh air, we return towards the Louvre, and walk along what seems to be a line Rivoli street . The rigor and simplicity of the architectural forms leads us to the Louvre-Rivoli metro station (although there are a couple more stations along the way, we decided to go a little further) - we are going home to rest, tomorrow is an equally busy day ahead. Paris metro map Second day Before you set off, take the time to go out early and find an outdoor market to buy fresh and delicious food for dinner. This will be reasonable, because the markets in Paris are usually open until 12.00-13.00, and all the delicious things end around 11 am.
Food market in Paris After we have stocked up on provisions, we begin the cultural program with a sense of accomplishment. Today our route is to the islands, the plan is as follows:

• Ile de la Cité - Place John Paul II - Kilometer Zero - Notre Dame Cathedral
• Saint Louis Island
• Museum d'Orsay
• Champ de Mars
• Eiffel Tower
• River walk on the Seine

Arriving at Cite Island (Cité metro station), we immediately find ourselves in the oldest part of the French capital. Cité is one of two islands in the waters of the Seine that have survived to this day, and can be reached from both the right and left banks of the river. It is here that there are numerous attractions that a curious tourist is unlikely to ignore. For example, the legendary Notre Dame Cathedral or Notre-Dame de Paris. We boldly walk along John Paul II Square and we approach the magnificent building of the Cathedral. Please note the small stone rosette on Cathedral Square with the inscription “ Point Zero "is the French zero kilometer, the starting point of all roads in the country. From this point our path of contemplating the external and internal decoration of the Cathedral begins.

Vn External facade of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris during the day and evening Having examined and captured the magnificent facades of the Cathedral, we reverently go inside. Don't forget that you shouldn't talk on the phone or take pictures with flash in the Cathedral. A strict official dressed as a priest, usually black, will be very strict in case of violation.

If you are especially lucky, you will be able to hear a rehearsal or even a performance of some kind of mass or other beautiful classical work, most often associated with church chant.

Interior of Notre Dame Cathedral Naturally, everything we saw brings back memories of the poor hunchback and the beautiful Esmeralda... We wipe away a tear and, touched, leave the Cathedral to Saint Louis Bridge go to the island of rich Parisians, which, oddly enough, is also called - Saint Louis . We enjoy the views, remembering at the same time that Moliere, Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau once walked along these streets, after which we go out to the embankment and cross to the left bank of the Seine along Tournelle bridge (Pont de la Tournelle). If you like to walk, you can stroll along the Seine towards Museum d'Orsay (Musée d’Orsay), admiring from the embankment beautiful views of the islands, and then of the right bank of the Seine, where we walked yesterday.
Entrance to the Musee d'Orsay
Museum d'Orsay
View of Notre Dame Cathedral from the left bank of the Seine The Musée d'Orsay is located just opposite the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden. If luck hasn't betrayed us, we can get into the museum on the day of free entry.

Musee d'Orsay. On the first Sunday of every month, admission is free. You can also enter for free after 16.30 (on Thursday after 18.00), but keep in mind that Monday, May 1 and December 25 are closed days. Tickets can also be bought online.

At the Musée d'Orsay you can fully enjoy works of art of various styles - realism, impressionism, symbolism, as well as secessionism and pictorialism. Along with masterpieces of painting, sculpture, arts and crafts, and photography are presented. Art connoisseurs have something to look at.

An audio guide in any language can be purchased at the ticket office for only 5 euros.

Having admired the immortal paintings, we go further for a walk along the Quai d'Orsay towards Eiffel Tower .
Eiffel Tower Here we have the opportunity to walk around Champ de Mars and, of course, climb the Eiffel Tower, and also take another series of unique photographs - against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, under the Eiffel Tower, on the Eiffel Tower. And if you wish, you can wait until the evening and look at the glowing evening Eiffel Tower. Of course, without forgetting about the photo with the lights of the Eiffel Tower. There is a fee to visit the tower, and the cost depends on how high you are willing to climb.
Eiffel Tower in the evening, illumination.

For practical tourists- ticket sales for the Eiffel Tower are open on the official website. If you are lucky enough to buy a ticket online for the desired date and time - hooray! But in this case you shouldn’t be late, because... Tickets for those arriving more than 30 minutes late will be canceled and the cost will not be refunded.

But even before dark, you can find a small pier next to the most famous landmark of Paris and take a boat ride along almost the same route in the opposite direction and see everything from the river side again. Interesting excursion You can buy it in Russian right there - an audio guide is offered at the ticket office at the pier. If you don't want to take an audio guide, then listen to a selection of wonderful songs about Paris, for example, by Joe Dassin, Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

Don't forget to kiss under every bridge... of course, if you are in Paris with your loved one, and not with your children or mother.

And at the end of this pleasant day, be sure to reward yourself with a portion of fresh oysters and a bottle of wine. And, voila - we managed such a busy program in just two days in Paris!
By the way, you can get to the hotel or apartment where you are staying after such an eventful event by metro, which is very convenient and safe. By the way, hotels in Paris are quite expensive and, as a rule, not the most comfortable, especially closer to the center, so it is better to rent an apartment. Great option There will be apartments in a house with an attic, or even better directly in the attic - this will allow you to experience the Parisian flavor, and will also give you the opportunity to conduct gastronomic experiments with delicious products of traditional French cuisine. After all, you bought them this morning at the outdoor market, remember?

Yana Dobrovolskaya Paris - St. Petersburg 2017

What to see in Paris in 1, 2 and 3 days

Paris is one of the most visited cities in the world by travelers. About 18 million tourists come here every year! Have you decided to be one of them? Then you’ve probably already wondered how long to stay here and what to see on your own first. We will try to make the task easier for you and, based on our personal experience(yours truly visited Paris in the summer of 2017) to give some valuable advice, as well as provide several options for interesting routes.

Day 1. Route around historical center

Of course, initially it is better to go to the very heart of the city. Here at almost every step there is some kind of attraction and in order not to miss all the most interesting things, it is better to plan your route in advance...or use ours!:)

The route we offer you is a long walking walking through the historical center of Paris will be a serious test for your feet, so gain strength and wear comfortable shoes.

The first day is purely sightseeing. We will get to know the city, its architecture and main attractions and will not waste time visiting museums for now. It will be very exciting and interesting!

Place de la Bastille
We suggest starting your walk from the famous Place de la Bastille.

At the station of the same name, 3 metro lines intersect - 1st, 5th and 8th, so getting here from anywhere in the city is not difficult. Place de la Bastille is also the intersection of more than 10 streets and boulevards and is of great importance for the city, although from an architectural point of view, we must admit, we were not particularly impressed.

Place des Vosges and Marais district

From Place de la Bastille we move to the small Place des Vosges - the oldest square in Paris.

Next we go out onto Fran Bourgeois Street and move along it. Now you are in the rather famous Parisian colorful quarter of Marais, which was chosen by rich Parisians, the Jewish community, bohemians and sexual minorities.

Center Georges Pompidou

The most popular attraction here is perhaps the Center Georges Pompidou, which is where you are heading. The appearance of the building certainly deserves attention.

If you are planning a visit to this museum, it is better to postpone it until another day so as not to waste time (and there is plenty to spend it on).
Not far from here is the fast food restaurant Flunch. If you want to have a budget-friendly and hearty lunch, this is the place for you.
From the Center Georges Pompidou we turn towards the embankment of the Seine River.
Nearby rises a rather interesting architectural creation - the Saint-Jacques Tower.

Having reached the embankment, we find ourselves in front of the Ile de la Cité, on which the famous Notre Dame Cathedral rises. If you do not plan to go inside the cathedral, you can walk up to it on the first day. If you want to see its interior, it is better to postpone your visit to the second day, because there is always a queue of people wanting to get inside near Notre Dame (and there is still something to see on the Ile de la Cité!). It moves quite quickly, but you still have to spend 20-30 minutes. Entrance to the cathedral is free. If you only have one day allotted to Paris, then, of course, move here: Notre Dame is a must-see.

Louvre

If you decide to explore Notre Dame, then after it return to the Seine embankment. We continue moving along it. Ahead of you awaits another iconic landmark of Paris - the Louvre.

As mentioned above, on the first day we propose to take a sightseeing tour of the city, so we will not visit the Louvre itself and will only examine it from the outside. You need to set aside a separate day to visit the famous museum.

Tuileries Garden
In front of the Louvre lies the Tuileries Garden - one of the most picturesque parks in Paris, through which we will take a walk. Here is also one of the city's two Arc de Triomphe - the Arc de Triomphe Carrousel (this is a small arch, not to be confused with the famous Arc de Triomphe of Paris - it is in front of you :)

Champs Elysees

The Tuileries Garden smoothly flows into the Champs Elysees. They are separated only by the picturesque Place de la Concorde, through which our path lies. The 2-kilometer Champs Elysees stretches from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, along which we will take a walk.

Along the way, you can step a little to the side and look at the Elysee Palace. The final stretch of the Champs Elysees is especially interesting - here you will find shops and boutiques of iconic brands. If you are in the mood for a little shopping, stay here.

Arc de Triomphe

Right in front of us is the Arc de Triomphe! Frankly, it turned out to be so huge and majestic that it personally took our breath away. By the way, there is an excellent observation deck on the arch.

Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars

After visiting the Arc de Triomphe, the culmination of our walk awaits you. It should already be getting dark outside, which means the Eiffel Tower is getting ready to turn on its lights. We are heading to the Champ de Mars, where we will finally give our legs a rest and an unforgettable sight for our eyes.

No matter how trivial a pastime may seem to you, visiting the Eiffel Tower, we hasten to assure you that the end result will exceed all your expectations. We run into the nearest store for a bottle of wine, sit back on the grass of the Champ de Mars and enjoy!

We personally do not recommend going up to the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower: it is a waste of time and money that is not worth it. There are much more interesting observation platforms in Paris, one of which we will suggest you visit on the 2nd day, but the Eiffel Tower has one significant drawback: from it you cannot see the Eiffel Tower itself :)

By the way, a huge selection of wine is available in the largest wine library in Paris - Lavinia. True, to get there, you will need to take a little walk from the Champs Elysees, and to choose a wine from this countless collection, you will have to spend a lot of time.

When the Eiffel Tower begins to shimmer with lights, you will definitely get goosebumps, and the thought that in at the moment you are a participant in some great event.

Once you are ready to leave the Champ de Mars, you can head home with a clear conscience and a full set of impressions.

1st day route in Paris on the map

On the second day, having had a good night's sleep, we continue to get acquainted with the most interesting places cities.

Ile de la Cité and Notre Dame Cathedral

Let's start with the Ile de la Cité. The nearest metro stations are the Chatelet junction or Cite line 4. We do not recommend getting off at Cite, because then you will miss the opportunity to walk along the magnificent Notre Dame Bridge.

The main attraction here is, of course, the famous Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral.

Take your time waiting in line and be sure to go inside. It's worth it!

Also, for an additional cost (8 euros) you can go up to the observation deck of the cathedral, which is reached by 387 steps.
After visiting Notre Dame, take a walk around the Ile de la Cité and admire its incredible architectural ensemble.

Latin Quarter
Then we cross to the other side of the Seine and find ourselves in the Latin Quarter. This is an area of ​​narrow, colorful streets with inexpensive cafes and restaurants, which was formed around the oldest university in Paris, the Sorbonne. If you want to have a budget snack or a full lunch, the Latin Quarter is one of the best places in Paris for this.

Tourists have access to numerous fast foods, as well as budget restaurants French cuisine, where you can try frog legs and snails.
For us, a kind of entrance to the Latin Quarter will be the narrowest street in Paris - La calle mas estrecha de Paris (marked on the map). This, of course, is a kind of “attraction” for tourists - in almost every European city there are similar “narrowest streets”, which, in most cases, lead straight to the entrance of some establishment or, at least, into the arms of the waiting administrator of this establishment :) But one way or another, the place is quite interesting and it’s worth taking a couple of photos here.

The Latin Quarter, by the way, is a great place to buy souvenirs. In local shops you can find a lot of souvenirs with quite pleasant promotions (buy more, pay less). But we do not recommend spending the entire budget allocated for this important expense item. There will still be a place ahead where you can do this with a clear conscience :)

We won’t give you a clear route along Latin Quarter, because the whole charm of this place lies in its unique atmosphere, and it doesn’t matter which path you take. The main attractions of the quarter include the Sorbonne University, the Pantheon, the Church of St. Severina.

As well as the well-known tourist street Mouffetard - everything is marked on the map below.

Luxembourg Gardens

After a walk through the Latin Quarter we head to palace and park ensemble The Luxembourg Gardens are perhaps the most beloved among tourists and local residents recreational park, after the Champs de Mars.

The Luxembourg Gardens actually also belong to the Latin Quarter, but deserve special attention. The main attraction of the park is the Luxembourg Palace, where the Senate, the second chamber of the French parliament, sits.

Grab some coffee (or something stronger:) and do it a short walk walk around the park, sit on one of its many benches, and admire the beauty of this place.

Montparnasse

The next area on our way is Montparnasse. There are two quite interesting attractions here: the Montparnasse Cemetery and the Montparnasse Tower. The latter contains perhaps the best observation deck in Paris, from which you can see the entire city, including the Eiffel Tower, and at the same time, according to one popular local joke, you cannot see the ugly Montparnasse Tower itself. You can climb to the 57th floor of the 200-meter skyscraper for 15 euros.

As for the Montparnasse Cemetery, it is, of course, slightly inferior in popularity to another Parisian cemetery, Père Lachaise, but it is also quite popular. Many famous French figures are buried here.

Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Basilica

After Montparnasse, we take the metro and go to the most picturesque Parisian quarter - Montmartre. It should be nearing evening, and this is the best time for a walk here.

Montmartre is considered the most picturesque area of ​​the city. The well-known film “Amelie” was filmed here, which brought additional popularity to this place. The hill on which it lies is the most high point Paris. On this hill rises the Sacré-Coeur Basilica - one of the most magnificent sights in Paris, in our humble opinion.

Montmartre is also home to the famous Moulin Rouge cabaret.

Our main goal is the above-mentioned Sacre Coeur, but there is no need to rush and waste time in Montmartre. This is the most popular place in Paris to buy souvenirs. Be sure to stop by some cafe on the street (if the weather is favorable, of course) to fully experience the spirit of this amazing place.

You can have a small picnic on the grass at the foot of the Sacré-Coeur Basilica. By the way, you can get into the basilica itself for free and it’s worth doing.

For an additional cost you can go up to the dome.

At the top of the hill, at the foot of the basilica, by the way, there is a magnificent view of the city.

If you are traveling around Paris with your significant other, then while walking in Montmartre, be sure to visit the Wall of Love, on which “I love you” is written 311 times in 250 languages.

So, your busy second day in Paris will come to an end in Montmartre.

2nd day in Paris on the map

3rd day and subsequent

If in the previous two days you clearly followed our route, then we are pleased to inform you that the “minimum” program has been completed!
On the third and all subsequent days, it is quite difficult to advise something specific, because it should already depend on your individual preferences. Those who are partial to art, of course, need to visit the Louvre and the Center Georges Pompidou.
How else can you have fun in Paris?

Take a boat trip along the Seine (from 16 euros) and admire the beauty of Paris from the water.

You can walk around the Défense skyscraper district and get to know a completely different, modern Paris.

Of course, visit the famous Disneyland, located 40 minutes by train from Paris.

Another popular attraction outside the city is Versailles, which, like Disneyland, will require an entire day.

In Paris itself, among the many attractions, it is also worth noting the Père Lachaise Cemetery - one of the most outstanding monuments of funerary architecture.

Of course, this is far from full list sights of Paris. But they are quite enough to spend a few days with interest in this city.
