Day 1 - Paris
Kick-off with a visit to the Louvre which will take up most of your morning. You can then go back to the chic districts of Paris, strolling through the galleries and gardens of the Palais Royal. The right bank of the Seine, pedestrianised, also offers a pleasant route. Continue on to the Palais Garnier and Place Vendôme, to admire the jeweler’s shop windows. Finish on Place de la Madeleine to shop in department stores.
MyTripTailor Advice: The small restaurants of the Japanese quarter of Rue Sainte-Anne offer excellent value for money.
Day 2 - Paris
Head to west Paris to discover the Eiffel Tower! The wait is well worth the views of the capital from the summit. Cross the Seine and the jardins du Trocadéro before heading up to the Arc de Triomphe. You can lunch on the legendary Avenue des Champs-Élysées before browsing its endless shops and cafes. Head down the avenue to Place de la Concorde to see the obelisk and walk through the jardins des Tuileries. For a first glimpse of literary Paris, take an aperitif at the place du marché Saint-Honoré and spend the evening in the Marais.
