Paris questions

Is three days enough for Paris?

Three days covers the islands, the Louvre and Eiffel Tower, and Montmartre with the Marais. Use the metro, paying with a Navigo Easy card loaded with tickets or with contactless payment.

Do I need to book the Louvre ahead?

Book Louvre tickets online at least one week before arrival. Timed slots sell out quickly in peak months.

How long does a Seine river cruise take?

Standard Seine cruises run one hour. Reserve evening slots online for better availability.

What is the best way to get around Paris?

The metro connects neighborhoods in under thirty minutes. Walk short distances within each district.
