I can’t say that I was very impressed with the city, but the desire to come here for a week and live quietly in the center, eating croissants for breakfast, remained. I hope we can do it someday.

There are many attractions in Paris and its environs, but in 2 or 3 days you can easily see the main, most famous and popular ones. And ideally, you need to spend more time in the city.

For those who want to save time on preparing for the trip and immerse themselves more fully in the atmosphere and history of the city, I would recommend using the services personal guide in Paris. In my opinion individual excursions much more interesting organized excursions with their large number of people and hackneyed program. Moreover, you can always agree with a private guide on a time and day convenient for you and adjust the excursion.

Below are selected high-quality author's excursions, take a look, maybe something will suit you. First of all, take a look at the "Walks in Montmartre" tour if you are short on time, and " Sightseeing tour One day in Paris." I liked the last one, it’s convenient, you can see all the most important things in 7 hours.

This is a small private garden, represented by a variety of compositional and color styles, which for more than a hundred years has delighted not only ordinary tourists, but also true connoisseurs of garden art and professional florists.

First day in Paris

We suggest you visit first. Look at it from the square, then climb the tower itself.

Next, we advise you to take a walk along the Seine. The boat anchorage is located at the foot of Eiffel Tower, and you can buy tickets in advance using this link. Take a full circle and admire the city from the river. The tour will take approximately one and a half hours.

This will take you back to the Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro. Now go to the th side (go under the Eiffel Tower and forward to the green lawns). Here you can have a small picnic, as well as beautiful pictures. Move forward along the Champs Martius to the Military School. Turn left and go forward - eventually you will come out to.

If you don’t have much time or don’t like to walk, we suggest the following route: after returning from a boat ride on the Seine to the Eiffel Tower, go up to the Trocadéro: the metro station closest to the Eiffel Tower is located here. will take you to the Arc de Triomphe: after admiring it, continue your walk along the Champs Elysees. You will see the same ones as in the first route option.

Second day

After the Pompidou Center you can continue your walk to - just follow the Rue de Rivoli, the Louvre is located between the Seine and the Rue de Rivoli. Along the way you can stop at numerous shops. Even if you don't have time to visit the museum, go into the courtyard

Isn't it time to pamper yourself? interesting journey in Paris? – once again we ask ourselves the question and finally answer it in the affirmative! Suppose we decide to go there for the weekend, and therefore it would not be superfluous to think in advance about what to see in Paris in a couple of days. The first day It’s not at all difficult to feel the atmosphere of Paris and have time to visit all the most famous attractions in such a short time if you plan your route. Let's arm ourselves with a map and go to independent walk around Paris. Forward - for new impressions! The first thing you need to do is go to Champs Elysees , avenue des Champs-Élysées. Be sure to look at it in detail from all sides Arc de Triomphe in the center Charles de Gaulle Square (Place Charles-de-Gaulle, which used to be called Place de l’Étoile) and take a short excursion to the Avenue Foch (avenue Foch) - the most fashionable, and, as many say, the most beautiful avenue, if not in Europe, then at least in all of France.
Avenue Foch in Paris We return to the Champs Elysees and walk past all sorts of shops of famous world brands. We pay special attention to the building of the famous Gaumont film studio, where many French films were shot, including everyone’s favorite comedies with the participation of Pierre Richard and Gerard Depardieu. In the old days, wonderful Christmas markets were already opening on the Champs Elysees at the end of November. They started from the world famous Art Gallery Grand Palace , Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, where you can also find a lot of interesting things - exhibitions of recognized masters of art are constantly held here.
Art Galleries of the Grand Palace

This year, unfortunately, for the first time in many years, the Christmas market will not be presented on the Champs-Elysees, for security reasons.

But this will not stop us from enjoying a wonderful walk along the avenue towards the Ferris wheel and Place de la Concorde (Place de la Concorde). Be sure to take a couple of shots with these sights in the background, and also take a ride on the Ferris wheel to get a bird's eye view of the center of Paris.
Ferris wheel in Paris
Place de la Concorde Having received a lot of positive emotions, we head further towards Louvre, Louvre. Most likely, you will have to wait in front of the entrance in a long, winding line.

For less romantic tourists, it is possible to pre-book tickets on the official website of the museum - www.louvre.fr.

Louvre Through a glass pyramid that has recently appeared on the territory of the museum, we find ourselves in the museum lobby and perform the most banal action - we begin to search for the famous painting “ Mona Lisa » brushes by Leonardo da Vinci. On the way to Mona Lisa, we admire the greenish walls of the museum and mentally compare it with the much more pleasant Hermitage in St. Petersburg. We reach the painting “La Gioconda” and stand in awe in the crowd of fellow art connoisseurs, mentally wondering what all the fuss is about. In principle, this concludes the mission of the trip to the Louvre. After the Louvre, passing Place Carrousel , or as some call it, Place du Carrousel and Arc de Triomphe Carrousel , heading towards Tuileries garden (le Jardin des Tuileries), where you can sit for a while by a small pond and feed the ever-hungry seagulls.
Place Carrousel and Arc de Triomphe Carrousel
Arc de Triomphe Carrousel It's a pity that it once adjoined the park royal palace we won’t see it, it was burned before us - in the 19th century. Well, let's admire the remaining beauty. Please note that not everywhere there are the usual benches; for the convenience of tired park visitors, there are... chairs. But, wherever you want to sit, in order to avoid embarrassment, be sure to look to see if seagulls have sat down on these chairs in front of you. Let’s sit down and, relax, mentally congratulate ourselves, because today we managed to see several sights at once:

  • Champs Elysees
  • Arc de Triomphe at Place Charles de Gaulle
  • Avenue Foch
  • Ferris wheel
  • Place de la Concorde
  • Louvre and the world famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
  • Place Carrousel
  • Tuileries garden

Quite a lot for one day! Having inhaled plenty of fresh air, we return towards the Louvre, and walk along what seems to be a line Rivoli street . The rigor and simplicity of the architectural forms leads us to the Louvre-Rivoli metro station (although there are a couple more stations along the way, we decided to go a little further) - we are going home to rest, tomorrow is an equally busy day ahead. Paris metro map Second day Before you set off, take the time to go out early and find an outdoor market to buy fresh and delicious food for dinner. This will be reasonable, because the markets in Paris are usually open until 12.00-13.00, and all the delicious things end around 11 am.
Food market in Paris After we have stocked up on provisions, we begin with a sense of accomplishment. cultural program. Today our route is to the islands, the plan is as follows:

  • Ile de la Cité - Place John Paul II - Kilometer Zero - Notre Dame Cathedral
  • Saint Louis Island
  • Museum d'Orsay
  • Champ de Mars
  • Eiffel Tower
  • River walk along the Seine

Arriving at Cite Island (Cité metro station), we immediately find ourselves in the oldest part French capital. Cite is one of two islands that have survived to this day in the waters of the Seine, which can be reached from both the right and left banks of the river. It is here that there are numerous attractions that a curious tourist is unlikely to ignore. For example, the legendary Notre Dame Cathedral or Notre-Dame de Paris. We boldly walk along John Paul II Square and we approach the magnificent building of the Cathedral. Pay attention to the small stone rosette on Cathedral Square with an inscription " Point Zero "is the French zero kilometer, the starting point of all roads in the country. From this point our path of contemplating the external and internal decoration of the Cathedral begins.

Vn External facade of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris during the day and evening Having examined and captured the magnificent facades of the Cathedral, we reverently go inside. Don’t forget that you shouldn’t talk on the phone or take pictures with flash in the Cathedral. A stern minister dressed as a priest, usually black, will be very strict in case of violation.

If you are especially lucky, you will be able to hear a rehearsal or even a performance of some kind of mass or other beautiful classical work, most often associated with church chant.

Interior of Notre Dame Cathedral Naturally, everything we saw brings back memories of the poor hunchback and the beautiful Esmeralda... We wipe away a tear and, touched, leave the Cathedral to Saint Louis Bridge go to the island of rich Parisians, which, oddly enough, is also called - Saint Louis . We enjoy the views, remembering at the same time that Moliere, Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau once walked along these streets, after which we go out to the embankment and cross to the left bank of the Seine along Tournelle bridge (Pont de la Tournelle). If you like to walk, you can stroll along the Seine towards Museum d'Orsay (Musée d’Orsay), admiring from the embankment beautiful views of the islands, and then of the right bank of the Seine, where we walked yesterday.
Entrance to the Musee d'Orsay
Museum d'Orsay
View of Notre Dame Cathedral from the left bank of the Seine The Musée d'Orsay is located just opposite the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden. If luck hasn't betrayed us, we can get into the museum on the day of free entry.

Musee d'Orsay. On the first Sunday of every month, admission is free. You can also enter for free after 16.30 (on Thursday after 18.00), but keep in mind that Monday, May 1 and December 25 are closed days. Tickets can also be bought online.

An audio guide in any language can be purchased at the ticket office for only 5 euros.

Having admired the immortal paintings, we go further for a walk along the Quai d'Orsay towards Eiffel Tower .
Eiffel Tower Here we have the opportunity to walk around Champ de Mars and, of course, climb the Eiffel Tower, and also take another series of unique photographs - against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, under the Eiffel Tower, on the Eiffel Tower. And if you wish, you can wait until the evening and look at the glowing evening Eiffel Tower. Of course, at the same time, not forgetting about the photo with the lights of the Eiffel Tower. There is a fee to visit the tower, and the cost depends on how high you are willing to climb.
Eiffel Tower in the evening, illumination.

But in this case you shouldn’t be late, because... Tickets for those arriving more than 30 minutes late will be canceled and the cost will not be refunded.

But even before dark, you can find a small pier next to the most famous landmark of Paris and take a boat ride along almost the same route in the opposite direction and see everything from the river side again. You can buy an interesting excursion in Russian right there - an audio guide is offered at the ticket office at the pier. If you don't want to take an audio guide, then listen to a selection of wonderful songs about Paris, for example, by Joe Dassin, Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

Don't forget to kiss under every bridge... of course, if you are in Paris with your loved one, and not with your children or mother.

And at the end of this pleasant day, be sure to reward yourself with a portion of fresh oysters and a bottle of wine. And, voila - we managed such a busy program in just two days in Paris!
By the way, you can get to the hotel or apartment where you are staying after such an eventful event by metro, which is very convenient and safe. By the way, hotels in Paris are quite expensive and, as a rule, not the most comfortable, especially closer to the center, so it is better to rent an apartment. An excellent option would be an apartment in a house with an attic, or even better directly in the attic - this will allow you to experience the Parisian flavor, and also give you the opportunity to conduct gastronomic experiments with delicious products of traditional French cuisine. After all, you bought them this morning at the outdoor market, remember?

Yana Dobrovolskaya Paris - St. Petersburg 2017

See Paris in 2 - 3 days? Is quite real!

If you only have a couple of days in Paris (for example, a weekend), the ideal option would be to first look around the city by going along one of the. You can complement a tiring walk around the city by boat. A boat cruise is especially enjoyable in. It’s more convenient to walk: there is no wind, and it’s more interesting to look at Paris from the shore.

You can break one-day routes into 2 days, easily visiting others, such as Notre Dame. There are usually very long queues, so allow at least an hour for your visit. Then in one day you can walk from the Arc de Triomphe to the Eiffle Tower, go up, walk past to, go up there, walk around and walk to the Pantheon.

On the second day you can go to, then visit, for example, or, and in the evening go to, where life does not subside until late. Alternatively, end the evening with a visit to the famous cabaret Moulin Rouge(you just need to buy tickets much in advance).

Options for the second day:

  • if you want to see the maximum, then a trip to.
  • if you are with children, then a trip to Disneyland, Parc Asterix or France in miniature.

if you want romance, go to Montmartre with its picturesque rocky streets and stairs, take a ride on the carousel on Place des Abbesses, where the famous wall is located Mur des je t'aime("I love you" wall) - designed by Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito, it is covered with the phrases "I love you" in 280 languages! The Museum of Romance is located nearby - Musée de la Vie romantic.

A little mysticism?

Free cultural program?

If it's the first Sunday of the month, don't miss the opportunity to visit the museums of Paris for free: Louvre,Orsay and other museums are waiting for you. Locks are also usually free (at least in winter).

Third day in Paris

Accordingly, on the third day you can choose what you didn’t have time to do on the second and first days - most likely you won’t have time to visit absolutely everything. You can take advantage of the third day to climb a couple and admire the city from above. Keep in mind that a visit to the Eiffel Tower will take at least 2 hours: huge queues at the ticket office and at the tower itself do not disappear in any season.

If you are tired of noisy crowds of tourists, then you can take a walk in relative solitude (if you have not been there in the first 1 - 2 days). This is also part of the history of Paris and its atmosphere, but completely different, a little mysterious.

If you want to make the most of it, you can go for the whole day to. This will significantly complement the picture of the trip and deepen knowledge of French history and lifestyle.

Well, if you have special preferences, you can use thematic routes presented below.

How to see the most interesting places and Sights of Paris in 1, 2 and 3 days. How to get there and where to stay on a budget.

I’ll say right away that 3 days in Paris is very little if you don’t prepare and plan your route. I've had two trips to Paris, several days each, and I still don't know this city. I can navigate, I know the main attractions, but this is just a ceremonial postcard to show off that I was here.

I will try to combine all the experience and information found on the Internet in order to make life easier for future guests of Paris and systematize memories. This article can be called a small guide to Paris.

What to see in Paris in 1 day

One of the starting points for a walk around Paris can be Trocadero . This place can be easily reached by metro by getting off at the Trocadero station of the same name.

Why Trocadero? This is where the most famous observation deck in Paris is located, and the views from this platform are shown in many films. It’s worth coming here if you want your first impression of Paris to be exactly as it was from the movies. The only nuance that can ruin everything is the crowds of tourists from early morning until late evening, but this is a drawback of all of Paris.

Eiffel Tower

Arriving at Trocadero, let's start the first day with a symbol that leaves no one indifferent. Some admire her, while others, trying to stand out, express their contempt and still take pictures against her background and climb on her, paying their money, to say something like “Finally, she is not visible.”

We are talking about the most famous and one of the most important attractions of Paris - the Eiffel Tower. You can linger here for a long time, it’s not so easy to get around it, and if you also sit on the grass on the Champ de Mars, it may turn out that half a day has already passed.

The queue for the tower is never small, so if your plans include conquering it, then depending on your budget there are two options - purchase tickets in advance and go to the top without queuing.

  1. — 49€
  2. — 81€.
  3. — 42€.

Statue of Liberty

Not far from the Eiffel Tower there is a small replica of the Statue of Liberty. It is located on Swan Island. Looking at it, one involuntarily recalls the world-famous Statue of Liberty in America, which appeared there thanks to France.

Military school

Having returned from the Statue of Liberty to the Eiffel Tower and having spent some time on the Champ de Mars near it, we need to move on. At the end of the Champs de Mars there is a large complex of buildings, this is the Military School.

Home for the Invalids

Many people associate France with Napoleon Bonaparte, and after visiting Paris it is worth visiting his grave, which is located in the Invalides. This is a whole complex of buildings, headed by the cathedral, where Napoleon’s grave is located, as well as sarcophagi with the ashes of other emperors.

  • — 11€.

There is also a museum of plans and reliefs and an army museum. The purpose of this complex has not yet changed; war veterans are still staying here today.

Montparnasse Tower

Now it’s worth heading to the Montparnasse skyscraper, from the roof of which you can take the best photographs of both the Eiffel Tower and Paris itself from a bird’s eye view. This is the highest observation deck in Paris.

  • — 15€.

On the 56th floor there is an indoor area with a restaurant, and on the 59th floor there is an open area. The remaining floors are occupied by offices of various companies.


Pantheon

After leaving the tower we head to another majestic building, the Pantheon. Here are the ashes or a piece of soil from the graves of the most prominent people in France. The road to it will lie through the Luxembourg Gardens. The entrance is free.

The Catholic Church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont is located next to the Pantheon, it is located on the Mount of Saint Genevieve. The church contains a tomb containing the relics of the patron saint of Paris, Saint Genevieve.

This is where the sights of Paris on the first day end. Taking into account the time spent on the Champ de Mars and observation deck Montparnasse should be a whole day of sightseeing.

Sights of Paris in 2 days

We will start the second day with another well-known symbol, without which not a single film about Paris can do - this is the Arc de Triomphe, and the day will end with a visit to the Louvre.

Triumphal Arch

Inside the architectural monument there is a museum, and at the very top there is Observation deck. Entrance to the site is paid. The queue here is much shorter, but if you want to skip it, I will provide a link to tickets.

  • — 12€.

Champs Elysees

Immediately after Arc de Triomphe The Champs Elysees begins. Many will be disappointed that there are no fields here, and today it is just a street with expensive shops connecting the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe.

Place de la Concorde is hard to miss, as it is located in the center of the city between the Tuileries Garden and the Champs Elysees, its fountains attract attention, and the obelisk is visible from afar.

Tuileries Garden

Located between the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre, the garden has become a must-see on tourist routes. If you're lucky, one of the many outdoor exhibitions will be taking place during your visit.

One of the favorite pastimes of tourists in the Tuileries Garden is to sit around the fountain, basking in the sun and feeding the birds.

After feeding the birds, don’t forget to snack on a French baguette, which in Paris tastes fantastic, especially if you’re even a little hungry.

Place Vendôme

One of the famous squares of Paris and it is located a few minutes from the Tuileries Garden. Do nice photos this area is only possible from a height, because it just doesn't fit into the lens.

The Louvre is one of the main attractions of Paris, one of the largest and famous museums in the world. The most famous exhibits of the museum are the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa.

It can take a whole day to explore the entire museum, as its huge collection numbers about four hundred thousand exhibits. You can see the art here ancient egypt, ancient East, see sculptures, study Islamic art, and visit halls with fine and graphic arts.

The queue at the Louvre is often no worse than the queue at the Eiffel Tower, so it’s also worth purchasing tickets here in advance, although it costs a little more online.

What to see in Paris in 3 days

Day 3 can start with the Sacré-Coeur Basilica as one of the most remote attractions in Paris and gradually move towards the city center to the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral.

Basilica of Sacré-Coeur and Montmartre

To get to the basilica you need to take one of 3 metro lines - M2, M4 or M12 and get off at Anvers, Chateau Rouge or Abbesses stations, respectively. To the left of the basilica there is a funicular to the top of the mountain, for those who find it difficult to climb the steps.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Christ or Sacré-Coeur is a decoration of the Montmartre region and is considered one of the main Catholic churches in the country. The area in front of the basilica allows you to enjoy views of Paris and its surroundings.

Since the basilica is located on a mountain, this is another observation deck with views of Paris from where most of the city is visible.

5 minutes from the basilica in the vicinity of the Montmartre district, you can find an unusual monument in the form of a man half stuck in a wall. This is the hero of Marcel Aimé's story "The Man Walking Through Walls."

Show-Cabaret Moulin Rouge

Coming down the mountain from the basilica, it is difficult to pass by another symbol of Paris, because it was here that the famous Cancan dance was first performed. The cabaret is located on Boulevard Clichy; the building is easily recognizable due to its red mill.

There was a period when this establishment enjoyed a negative reputation, but now even children from 6 years old are allowed to attend the show and you can visit the establishment with the whole family.

Although this is the most famous establishment in the city, there are several other cabarets in Paris that are in no way inferior to the Moulin Rouge. Below is a selection of tickets for alternative cabaret shows. - 11€.

After the opera, we head towards the Ile de la Cité and along the way we will see the lonely Tower of Saint-Jacques.

Which one ancient city happens without the Town Hall. The Paris City Hall has seen a lot, there were various kinds of riots and revolutions, during which it managed to survive, but with the proclamation of the Paris Commune it was completely burned down.

The square and the town hall located on it have the same name Hotel de Ville, which means city palace.

Now you can cross the bridge and explore the Ile de la Cité, where you can see the second most important symbol of Paris, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris or Notre Dame de Paris. This is not only an important building in Paris, but above all the soul and heart of the city. It was built on the island of Cité on the site where there once was a former pagan temple, and after it the Church of St. Stephen.

Palace of Justice and Conciergerie Castle

The huge palace complex, which includes the courts, prosecutor's office and police, is located on the same Ile de la Cité as Notre-Dame de Paris. Today the palace is huge complex buildings, the main ones being the Conciergerie Castle (prison), the Sainte Chapelle chapel and the Palais de Justice itself.

The story turned out to be very long, but these are only the main attractions of Paris and a few less significant ones that came across along the road or were nearby. Now you will understand that Paris and 3 days is very little.
