Questions about this trip

Is 2 days enough for Paris?

Two days covers the main sights if you book timed entries for the Louvre and Eiffel Tower. Allow extra time for travel to the airport on day two.

Do I need to book the Louvre in advance?

Yes. Book a timed ticket online several weeks ahead. Slots fill up quickly, especially in summer.

How long is the flight from Paris to Nice?

The direct flight takes about 1 hour 25 to 35 minutes. Book early for the best fares.

Should I book the boat to Saint-Tropez ahead?

Yes, book the boat from Cannes a few days ahead in summer. Boats run from spring to autumn; check the crossing time when you book, as it varies by boat and route.
