Best Things To Do in Paris: The Ultimate 3-day Trip
Day 1: All Around the Eiffel Tower
Channel your inner ‘Emily in Paris’ and start your day with a delicious coffee and freshly baked croissant at a boulangerie near your accommodation. Practice your French, and enjoy the satisfaction of those perfect warm layers of pastry!
Tip: On your trip to Paris, look for bakeries (Boulangerie) and pastry shops (Patisseries).
1. Arc de Triomphe
Start by taking the subway (1.90 EUR) to station ‘Charles de Gaulle – Etoile’. From here, walk to the Arc de Triomphe, one of the most iconic sights on any trip to Paris. The huge square arch sits at the western end of the famous road, ‘Champs-Elysees’, a wide avenue that’s been featured in many famous movies.
2. Laduree Macarons
Beautiful colored meringues, filled with a variety of flavorsome fillings; macarons are synonymous with France! Laduree is one of the most beautiful and famous shops in Paris, with shops all around the city.
Day 2: Montmartre (Best to do in Paris)
Montmarte is the prettiest area in all of Paris. What was once a tiny village on the hill, separated from the city, now forms the 18th district of Paris.
It used to be popular with artists, musicians, and poets who came here to paint and write, inspired by the beautiful Parisian scenery. It also went through a famous period of cabarets, brothels, and underground nightlife, known mainly for the Moulin Rouge.
These days, it keeps its beautiful village atmosphere and is a great place to stay when you visit Paris.
Day 3: Notre Dame, Louvre and more
Get up and prepare yourself for a busy day of sightseeing on your trip to Paris! Day 3 is all about soaking up the unique Parisian culture, whether art, literature, or music.
Visit the Notre Dame Cathedral as early as possible to really observe the beauty without the crowds. If you can arrive before 8 AM, the sun is still behind the cathedral, and the square in front is almost empty.
Paris is beautiful all year round! The summer months are the warmest and, therefore, the busiest. Christmas is also the peak season when people enjoy the cold temperatures and festive Christmas lights. For that reason, visiting in the spring or September is a perfect time. During these months, enjoy mild weather, days of sunshine, and slightly quieter streets.

I love Marche d'Aligre!
By: Johny Test On 10/14/2022My favorite market, I have known sellers for many years, when I come to shop, I feel like I came to my grandparents. We met many here, even when I was at university, I grew up in front of their eyes, and they grew old, we can hug each other when we meet, and joke around. I love Marche d'Aligre!

Do it. Don’t regret it.
By: Anna Test On 10/14/2022I think the tower has been renovated on the first level, it was really stunning with lots of glass and a nice looking cafe, cool seats, and swings. It was really well organized - busy but no queue for the people walking up. I think there was a lift queue. It's not too hard to walk.
