This two-week itinerary covers central Paris neighborhoods, major museums, and day trips to Versailles, Giverny, and Fontainebleau. Days begin in the historic core with Notre-Dame and the Louvre before expanding to Montmartre, the Marais, and outer parks. Day trips are spaced between city exploration to balance walking and travel.
Two weeks covers central sights and several day trips at a steady pace. Book major museums and palaces online in advance to secure timed entry.
Book Versailles tickets at least two weeks ahead through the official site. Arrive at opening to finish the palace before garden crowds peak.
Take the train from Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon then the connecting shuttle. Allow four hours round trip and buy return tickets the same day.
Buy a Navigo Easy card or daily passes for the metro and RER. Walk within each district to avoid extra transfers.
