A 5-Day 4-Night Paris Free Tour – No Rush At All!

✈️ Our first stop in Europe – Paris 🗼! We only planned 5 days this time, but we visited all the must-see spots. Sharing it with everyone – friends who want to travel independently can use this as a reference! 🚇 Transportation: The Paris Metro is super convenient! If staying for 3+ days, recommend buying a weekly pass at Airport Terminal 3 (35€) – you can take the metro and buses as much as you want, way more cost-effective than single tickets! 🏨 Accommodation: the 1st/5th/6th/7th/8th/9th arrondissements – safe and convenient! We stayed in the 5th arrondissement, an 8-minute walk from the metro. There are tons of authentic French restaurants and small supermarkets nearby, and we felt safe walking back at night! 🗺️ Sharing our itinerary: 1️⃣ Day 1 (half day): Notre-Dame de Paris → Panthéon → Jardin du Luxembourg. (Arrived at the airport in the morning, got to the hotel at noon, set off at 3 PM) 🍚 Highly recommend dinner at Chez René, a French restaurant in the 5th arrondissement near our hotel. Around 200+ RMB per person – the garlic butter snails were super flavorful, and there were lots of local elders dining there when we went! 2️⃣ Day 2: Eiffel Tower → Arc de Triomphe → Hôtel de la Marine → Mur des Je t’aime (Love Wall) → Sacré-Cœur Basilica → Galeries Lafayette. 🍚 Dinner at Shu Yuan near Galeries Lafayette – dishes like boiled beef and spicy beef lungs were huge portions, around 150 RMB per person and very filling! 3️⃣ Day 3: Palais Garnier → Louvre Museum (remember to book half a month in advance!) → Tuileries Garden. Booked a 10 PM night cruise on the Seine – on the way back, we just caught the Eiffel Tower sparkling at 11 PM, so beautiful! 🍚 Dinner at COMME CHEZ SOI buffet – 200+ RMB for all-you-can-eat seafood, fresh ingredients and huge shrimp! 4️⃣ Day 4: Les Invalides → Palace of Versailles (reserve half a day!) → Musée d’Orsay. 🍚 Dinner at Jiangya Legend, a Sichuan restaurant – around 100 RMB per person, reasonable price and authentic Sichuan flavor! 5️⃣ Day 5: Sainte-Chapelle → Conciergerie → Musée de l’Orangerie → Place de la Concorde → Champs-Élysées → Pont Alexandre III. 🚞 Took a train to Brussels at 4 PM, ending our 5-day romantic and wonderful trip to Paris! 🩸 Tips: They say there are lots of pickpockets in Paris – maybe we were lucky, no incidents the whole trip, but still stay alert! Wear your bag in front, and be cautious of strangers striking up conversations in the metro. Next time, we must visit the small towns near France! #ParisTravel #TravelMemories #CheckInAroundTheWorld #FranceTravel #ParisTourism #EuropeTravelGuide
