🇫🇷 Paris 3-Day Itinerary: Art, Views & Local Vibes
Here’s my tested-and-approved 3.5-day Paris route—perfect for first-timers who want art + charm without burnout! 🗓️ Itinerary Snapshot Day 0: Evening citywalk: Louvre → Seine → Eiffel Tower. Day 1: Morning: Luxembourg Garden + pharmacy haul (Citypharma with Chinese staff!). Afternoon: Orangerie (Monet’s Water Lilies) → Tuileries Garden → Notre-Dame exterior. Evening: Seine cruise (book last-minute on Taobao for ¥50!). Day 2: Seine strolls → Pompidou flyby → Arab World Institute rooftop → Panthéon. 6PM: Musée d’Orsay late entry (cheaper + emptier!). Day 3: 9AM Louvre (Carrousel entrance!) → Le Marais shopping → Montmartre sunset. 🚇 Transport IDF Mobilités app: Buy single tickets (NFC-enabled). Airport trains: iOS-friendly. 🎟️ Key Tips 🖼️ Louvre: ✔ Enter via Carrousel du Louvre B2 (shorter line!). ✔ Nintendo audio guides (but bring a charger!). ✔ Mona Lisa first (Room 711, 1st floor). 🎨 Musée d’Orsay: ✔ Late tickets = discount! ✔ Route: 5F (Van Gogh/Monet) → 2F (sculptures) → 0F (paintings). 🌿 Gardens: ✔ Tuileries: Sandy but iconic green chairs. ✔ Luxembourg: More local + lush. 💡 Bonus Hacks Montmartre: Go with friends (sketchy spots). Skip Merci boutique—overpriced & underwhelming. Pharmacy: Citypharma for French beauty steals. #ParisTravel #ArtLovers #SeineSunset #TravelSmart ✨
