Paris in 4 Days: Eiffel Tower, Louvre and Montmartre

No. You stay in the same central hotel, carefully selected in the heart of Paris, for the entire trip. It is an ideal base, well connected by metro for reaching the different neighbourhoods. You only unpack once.

The Eiffel Tower sparkles every hour on the hour for 5 minutes after nightfall. In summer, sunset is usually around 9:45–10:00 pm, so a 9:00 pm cruise lets you enjoy sunset on the Seine and then see the first sparkle from the water. We recommend booking in advance and arriving 30 minutes before boarding.

Each day is organised around one main area to limit travel time: old Paris on foot on the first day, the western side of the city and the cruise on the second, a full day in Montmartre on the third, then the Louvre and Le Marais on the fourth. Paris is best explored on foot, so comfortable shoes are important, but the pace remains balanced.

Yes, especially for the most popular sites: the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle and the interior of Notre-Dame. Queues on site can easily take more than an hour. The Louvre is closed on Tuesdays; the Panthéon and Musée de Montmartre are open every day.

Just enough, without overloading the itinerary. The Louvre and Panthéon are the main cultural highlights, with Sainte-Chapelle and the charming Musée de Montmartre as beautiful additions. Museums and monuments are balanced with time for walks, neighbourhoods and the Seine cruise.

Of course. This itinerary is a base that we adapt to your pace, interests and budget. For example, we can add the Musée d’Orsay, the Impressionist museum, on the second day, or replace one day with an excursion to the Palace of Versailles — while still returning to the same Paris hotel in the evening.

Mostly on foot, with the metro for longer connections such as Montmartre or the Eiffel Tower. A set of tickets or a Navigo Easy pass is usually enough. From a central hotel, most major sights can be reached in 15 to 25 minutes by metro.
