Recommended itineraries to Paris

There are a few recommended routes to Paris Benshaw. You can refer to this route when you go. Now Border Shaw will introduce it to you so you can learn about it. Now let's go and see what's better.

Sightseeing Route Recommendation

Route 1:Louvre - Dolores Garden - Place de la Concorde - Champs Elysees - (Avenue Montaigne) - Arc de Triomphe

2:Notre Dame - Shakespeare's Bookstore - Sainte-Marie - (Luxembourg Park)

Route 3: Musée d'Orsay - (Palais des Bourbons) - (Cour d'Invalides) - Seine River Cruise - Eiffel Tower

Route 4: Sacré-Coeur Basilica - Wall of Love - Café de la Duple Windmill - (Moulin Rouge)

Route 4: Montmartre Cemetery -Montmartre Cemetery

Line 5: Versailles

Route 6: Disneyland Paris

I plan the attractions here in accordance with the advantages of saving time and energy, not to take the repeated routes, combined with the characteristics of some attractions. The attractions that are bold in the recommended route are also famous in Paris. Attractions with brackets can be arranged according to your own interests, go or not.

Line 1

Louvre - Dolores Gardens - Place de la Concorde - Champs Elysees - (Avenue Montaigne) - Arc de Triomphe

The Louvre Museum of the Dodo

Metro line 1 or 7 to the Royal Museum of the Dodo Louvre station

Opening at 9:00 am, closed on Tuesday.

It's one of the top three museums in the world and has a lot of collections inside. It's really worth seeing. For those who don't know much about art appreciation, it will take about 3 hours to appreciate the following three town treasures: 'Mona Lisa's Smile', 'Venus with Broken Arm', and 'Goddess of Victory'. A day is definitely not enough time if you want to look closely at each collection.

After security check, be sure to pick up a free map (in Chinese) from the Visitor Center. The exhibits on each floor are clearly labeled on the map, and some particularly famous exhibits are highlighted. Without a map, it is easy to get lost in the Louvre. Of course you can rent a translator at the service center, but there is no Chinese version (so far).

When you arrive you will realize that the Mona Lisa is actually a very small painting, but there will be a lot of people in front of it.

Venus with a broken arm and the goddess of victory.

There's also a particularly famous painting I love: 'Freedom Leads the People'

Garden of the Tuileries

From the Louvre you can get to the Place de la Concorde through the nearby Tuileries Gardens.

The Jardin des Tuileries is a courtyard designed by Queen Marie de Medici in 1564 for the Palais des Tuileries, which connects the Place de la Concorde to the Louvre.

In summer, you will see many people picnicking and sunbathing here. There are many chairs in the garden. If you are tired of visiting the Louvre, you can enjoy the scenery and take a rest here.

There is also an 'Orange Garden Art Museum' inside. Those who are interested can also take a look.

Place de la Concorde, Place de la Concorde

Walk through the Jardin des Tuileries and you will come to the Place de la Concorde.

The Place de la Concorde is the most famous square in France. It was the site of executions during the French Revolution. In the center of the square stands an obelisk moved from the Luxor Temple in Egypt, which was given to France by Egypt in 1831.

Every Christmas Eve, a giant Ferris wheel is built on the Place de la Concorde, which is really superb at night~

Champs Elysées

Metro Lines 1, 8, and 12 to Concorde (Place de la Concorde)

Metro Lines 1, 2, and 6, RERA to Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport (Arc de Triomphe)

Champs Elysées runs from the Place de la Concorde in the east to the Arc de Triomphe. The eastern section is dominated by natural beauty, while the western section is a famous shopping street. There are fast food stores, French restaurants, H?agen-Dazs, Adi, Nike, Sephora, longch, ugg, Cartier, Mercedes-Benz and other specialty stores on the shopping street, and the lv headquarters is here~

Paris Arc de Triomphe

Take the line 1, 2, 6 or RERA, and get off at the station of Charles de Gaulle - Etoile.

Doors open at 10am.

The Arc de Triomphe, built to commemorate Napoleon's victory in the 1806 war, is directly below the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Every year, national leaders come here to lay wreaths in honor of the occasion. It feels like the heart of Paris, with the Arc de Triomphe at its center and 12 straight, wide roads radiating outward, one of which is the Champs Elysées. Inside the Arc de Triomphe, you can buy a ticket to enter. Visitors can climb to the top for a panoramic view of half of Paris (but not as high as the Eiffel Tower).

The view from the top of the Arc de Triomphe:

The 12 streets radiating from the Arc de Triomphe:

Avenue Montaigne, Avenue Montaigne

Metro Lines 1 and 9 to Franklin D. Roosevelt Station.

MontaigneBoulevard is the absolute center of luxury in Paris, where almost all the world's top boutiques are gathered. The environment is quiet, the service is good, there are few people, and the shopping experience is good. And many brands have their head office here, so the goods will be very complete~

Montaigne Boulevard intersects with Champs Elysees. If you have time, you can visit here. The 'Shopping' module later will tell you about this place again.

Route 2

Notre Dame de Paris - Shakespeare's Bookstore - Temple of the Saints - (Jardin du Luxembourg)

Notre Dame de Paris

Metro, line 4, Cit stop, get off and walk east.

RERB/C can be reached by getting off at Notre Dame de Saint-Michel station.

Notre Dame de Paris, located on the ?le de la Daisy in the center of Paris, is the Catholic cathedral of Paris, a Gothic building. It is divided into three parts: the church, the bell tower and the crypt. The church is free to visit, the bell tower need to buy a ticket to go in~

The interior of the church has a solemn and colorful feeling, and is considered to be the most beautiful of the many churches. On Christmas Eve there is a grand mass ceremony here, and those traveling at this time of year should not miss it~

In the north side of Notre Dame, there is an inconspicuous iron door that is the entrance to the bell tower. There is a limit to the number of people who can climb to the top, so sometimes you need to make a reservation at the reservation machine next to it. If you want to go to the bell tower, go to the small iron gate and see if you need a reservation. If necessary, you can make a reservation and then visit the inside of the church.

Note: Don't be intimidated by the line to visit the church. The line is still fast. I actually don't think it's necessary to visit the Basilica of the Sacred Heart after visiting Notre Dame de Paris. The interiors are very similar, and you can see the Sacré-Coeur Cathedral from the bell tower or other high places~

Shakespeare's Bookstore Shakespeare & Company

Address: 37 rue de Buccherie, Paris, France

Shakespeare's Bookstore is located across the street from Notre Dame de Paris.

The bookstore was born in the aftermath of World War I and sells books mainly in English. Hemingway, Stein and Fitzgerald were regulars here. Many advanced ideas were born here, and it was a meeting place for some progressives or parties. Hemingway also mentioned the bookstore in his own book, and the movie "Before Sunset" was filmed here.

Now it has become a must-see for the literary youth of Paris.

Censer Pantheon

Address: Paris, 75005, Place des Pantheons

From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Temple of the Magi is located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of the Latin Quarter, close to Notre Dame and Shakespeare's bookstore and a short walk from the city.

The Temple of the Magi was originally the Basilica of St. Neville built by Louis XV. It has changed over the years and is now a place of rest and relaxation. So far, 72 sages who have made outstanding contributions to French history have been buried, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, Zola and Curie.

The hall on the first floor of the Pantheon contains a number of paintings and sculptures on the history of France. The underground crypt, where the coffins of these famous people are placed, can be accessed via a staircase.

Luxembourg Park

Luxembourg is next to the Temple of the Magi. There is a large lawn, fountains, various chairs for people to rest, and a former palace. Anyway, it's also very nice to look at~ You can go for a walk if you are interested~

Line 3

Olympic Museum-(Bourbon Palace)-(Cour d'Invalides)-Seine River Cruise-Eiffel Tower

Olympic Museum

RERC line to the Orsay Museum station or metro line 12 to the Soprano station

Opens at 9:30am and closes on Mondays.

The Musée d'Orsay is a modern French art museum with a collection of paintings, sculptures and photographs. This museum used to be the Orsay train station, but was converted into a museum after years of abandonment. Inside are original works by Van Gogh, Monet, and Miller~

Remember to pick up a Chinese guide map at the correct desk when you enter. You can also rent a Chinese interpreter when you buy your ticket. The interpreters here don't have headphones and two people can't **** with one. Most of the sculptures are on the first or second floor, Van Gogh's works are on the second floor, and Monet and other Impressionist paintings are on the fifth floor.

Those interested in art can spend half a day here~(or half a day is not enough.)

Congrès National de Bonvin

Address: 33 Palais de Bourbon, Quai d'Orsay, Paris, France

From the Musée d'Orsay, walk a few hundred meters west along the Seine River to see the Palais de Cobain.

Originally a Bourbon palace, the Palais de Bourbon is now the seat of the French National Assembly. Its most distinctive feature is the 12 hugging columns at the entrance. You don't need a ticket to visit, but you need to make a reservation in advance. It's nice not to go in and look at the entrance~

Hotel de l'Invalides, Invalides

Metro line 8 to LaTourMaubourg or Invalides station

Metro line 13 to Varennes or St. Fran?ois Xavier station

RERC line to Invalides station

Continue westward from the Palais de Bourbon for a few minutes to reach the Invalides.

The Invalides was built by order of Louis XIV to house veterans returning from war. It is now a national memorial shrine with Napoleon's mausoleum, a military chapel and a military museum. A must-see for military enthusiasts and Napoleon fans.

I know nothing about the military and so far I have never been there.

José Cruises Seine

There are a lot of cruise companies on the Seine River in Paris, and the marinas are distributed differently. You can choose according to your preference. The company BateauxParisiens at the foot of the Eiffel Tower is recommended here.

Address: Port de Bordenay, Paris, Pier 3, Bordenay, at the foot of the French Tower.

The regular cruise is about 1 hour with Chinese narration. You can see the main attractions on both sides of the Seine River, and you can also cross under the famous Alexander III Bridge to get a glimpse of it~

Tickets can be purchased at the pier, or directly from Somebay (Somebay is really great). Tickets on Sompo are only $35.

If you want to have lunch or dinner on the boat, you can go to Pier 5 or Pier 7, or you can buy the ticket directly on Sompo~!

Eiffel Tower Tour Eiffel

Metro line 6 to BirHakeim station

RERC line to Place de la Guerre station

Metro line 9 to Trocadro station

Take a cruise on the Seine River and then you can enjoy the view of the Eiffel Tower straight away~

I would especially recommend you to come here in the afternoon. That way you can take beautiful photos in the sunshine (or at sunset) of the sparkling tower at night and the night view of Paris from the top of the tower.

Photos: The best place to take photos in the tower is definitely not under the tower, but on the observation deck in front of the Palais de Chaillot, where you can take photos of the whole tower, and the front. A lot of celebrity photography and wedding photos are taken here. Here's the walking route map:

After taking photos, you can get ready to buy tickets to climb the tower.

At the bottom of the tower, you'll see two queues, one for elevator tickets and one for stairs. The tickets are for going up the stairs by yourself. The tickets are cheaper and only go to the second floor. Tickets are to take the special elevator and there are two types, one that only goes to the second floor and one that goes to the third floor. You can queue up to buy as many as you need.

When it comes to queuing, it's a bit sad. It feels like you can't see the edge of the line under the tower. I once stood in line for three hours without exaggeration. We all have to go our own way. Of course it's possible to make reservations in advance, but one to two months in advance.

Be sure to wear extra clothes for the night climb to the top! The demonic wind at the top of the tower at night is really unnerving.

The brightest spot in the center is the Arc de Triomphe.

Line 4

Cathedral of the Sacred Heart - Wall of Love - Café du Bois Windmill - (Moulin Rouge) - Montmartre Cemetery

This line is not recommended for tourists who are short on time. This line is a small attraction and not very attractive. Personally, I don't think you can have too many surprises when you go there. If you still have time after all the other routes, you can consider this route.

Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

Metro line 2 to Anvers station

Metro line 12 to Arbourses station

Address: Church, Rue du Chevalier de la Barre, Paris, France

The Cathedral of the Heart sits at the highest point of the Montmartre Heights. Standing on the platform in front of the church, you can overlook half of Paris. The entire church is white (not so white now, of course). For a fee you can go up to the dome of the church. You can see this church from the Eiffel Tower, the top of the Arc de Triomphe, and so on. Because it is located on higher ground~

Love I love you wall.

The convent on metro line 12 stands out, with the famous "Wall of Love" across the street.

But when you see it, you'll realize it's not as beautiful as you think. It's actually an ordinary wall:

The Double Windmill Café

Address: 15 rue Lepic, Paris 75018

This café is next to the Wall of Love.

It is the place where Emmy played her role in the movie "Angel Love Beauty". Today, the cafe has many movie posters and displays. It's a good choice to go in and have a cup of coffee and take a couple of photos~

Montmartre Cemetery

Metro Line 13 to LaFourche Station

Address: 20 Rue Rachel, Paris, France

Montmartre Cemetery is one of the three major cemeteries in Paris, France, where many artists, musicians, and writers who used to live here are buried. For example, Alexandre Dumas, author of The Lady of the Camellias, Impressionist painter Alexandre Dumas, Zola, Edgar, scientists Abe and Fourier, the famous cancan dancer Ragulliou, the poet Heine, and the legendary actress Delita are all buried here, attracting many tourists to pay their respects.

Here are two other places you can do all day:

Line 5

Versailles

You can't use a pass to get to Versailles. You can buy a ticket directly from the departure point to this station.

Castle of Versailles, Versailles

RERC line to Versailles-RiveDroite station, get off and walk west for about 15 minutes.

Address: Place Lyautey, Versailles, France

Closed Mondays

The Chateau of Versailles is one of the grandest palaces in Europe. To use it in glory and luxury is really an exaggeration! It started out as a hunting palace for Louis XIII and Louis XIV expanded it into a French palace.

The exterior of Versailles is in the French Classical style and the interior is decorated in the Baroque style, designed by Rococo. Rooms such as the Mirror Room, the War Room, the Apollo Room, and the King's Bedroom are richly decorated, and every detail is worth stopping to take a closer look at.

"The gardens of Versailles are a fine example of French gardens. Exquisite sculptures, symmetrical designs, delicate geometric patterns, long canals, and artificially constructed flowers and trees reveal the ingenuity of the French people at every turn. Overlooking the gardens from the palace or strolling on the green grass of the gardens, one can faintly feel the elegance of French aristocratic life in those days."

The day you go to Versailles, it's best to arrive before 10:00, or the lines will be really long. Go to the service center on the right side of the gate to buy tickets and then line up~(make sure to take a map here or you will get lost later). Before visiting the palace, you can go to the service center in the palace (not the place to buy tickets, it is a service center after queuing into the palace) to find a Chinese interpreter. After visiting the palace you can return the interpreter to the gardens~

Mirror Hall:

Besides the beautiful scenery, the gardens also have the Trianon Palace and Marie Antoinette's Palace. These small palaces need to be purchased separately~

The gardens of Versailles are huge and it takes a day to get to Versailles.

Route 6

Disneyland Paris Paris

RER to Terminal Marne-la-Valle/Chessy

I really recommend Disneyland Paris if you have enough time to visit Paris!

This was the first Disneyland in my life. It's not as big as Shanghai Disney and the equipment might be a bit old, but it does give you a great atmosphere of Disney's fairy tale. The staff are particularly engaged and friendly, you can feel that they really work with emotion and are good at interacting with visitors.

I remember when the park closed at night, a few Disney staff members stood on the balcony on the second floor of the main gate and tried to wave goodbye to us. It was really touching when they said goodbye. None of this can be felt at Shanghai Disneyland.

The population here will be less than in China.

Shopping in Paris

LaFayette, LaFayette, LaFayette

Metro lines 7 and 9 to Chaussed'Antin-LaFayette station Address: 40 Avenue Haussmann, Paris, 75009

LaFayette's flagship store, located in the center of Paris, on the Rue Haussmann, is Europe's largest department store . There are three buildings, the men's department, the women's department, and the home department. (Note that you must go to the flagship store on Haussmann. There are branches of Old Master's elsewhere, but they are very small).

The whole mall is very crowded, especially the women's department, with lots of Chinese. Almost every counter has a Chinese-speaking attendant, and there are always long lines in front of lv and Chanel.

If you have a tight shopping schedule, this would be a good choice. Because Lafayette contains many kinds of skin care products, watches, jewelry, bags, clothes, shoes.

Spring Paris Le Paris Spring Department Store

Metro lines 3 and 9 to Havre-Caumartin station Address: 64 Avenue Haussmann, Paris, 75009

Paris Spring's head office is right next to the Old Master. It is also a large shopping mall with a variety of products, but there will be a lot less people than Old Masters, so if you want to buy products that are out of stock at Old Masters, you may want to come to Paris in the spring to take a look.

There is also a Paris Spring branch next to the Louvre, but the area is relatively small, the brand is not much. You can stop by when you go to the Louvre.

Valley Discount Village

RERA line to Vald'Europe station, turn right, walk a few minutes to the address: 3CoursdelaGaronne, 77700 Serris, France.

Valley Village is the only discount village in Paris. It's a long way from the center of Paris, a 40-minute drive. It is at the first stop of Disneyland.

When you arrive at the Discount Village, you can go to the Visitor's Center first, where they often give out 10% off coupons that can be used at many of the stores in the Discount Village, which is equivalent to a 10% discount.

If you buy too many large size in the discount village, you can go to the new showroom to buy another suitcase. On top of the original price discount, you can also get a 10% discount and then a tax refund. Cost-effective super high ~

Want to buy longch bag can also be bought here, than the incense street boutique is much cheaper.

Other brands here are Burberry, Maje, Kenzo, Timberland, Celine, Salvatore Ferragamo, Givenchy, Valentino, Chloe and so on.

Montaigne Avenue Montaigne Avenue

Metro Line 1 and Line 9 to Franklin D. Roosevelt Station Address: Montaigne Avenue, Paris, France

Montaigne Avenue is right next to Champs Elysees. If Hua wants to buy luxury goods, he must come here. A lot of luxury flagship stores are here, and there are a lot of new models and relatively few tourists, so you will have a good shopping experience.
