A packed itinerary for those planning a trip to Paris. 🚆 Traveling to Paris is very convenient. You can fly directly from Suvarnabhumi Airport or take a high-speed train if you're visiting multiple countries in Europe. For example, traveling from Germany to Paris takes only 3 hours as the train runs at 300 km/h. Day 1: Louvre - Champs Élysées - Eiffel Tower - Châtelet 📍 Louvre Museum: It's incredibly crowded even before opening hours. If possible, buy tickets online in advance. Instead, we strolled around and took photos. Nearby, there’s a Ferris wheel, some rides, and a park where people can relax. 📍 Champs-Élysées: Located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, this street is lined with luxury brand stores, restaurants, and 5-star hotels—a paradise for shoppers. You can also climb up the Arc de Triomphe for a small fee. To access it, use the underground passage. 📍 Eiffel Tower: For the best photos, take them from the bridge over the river. The main viewing area is very crowded. At 11 PM, there’s a stunning light show at the Eiffel Tower. 📍 Les Halles and Châtelet: These areas are filled with shops. We dined at Trois Saveurs Fondue, a hotpot restaurant similar to Haidilao. It has a sauce bar and free water. The meal for two cost 80 euros and was very filling. 🏨 Accommodation: We stayed at Hotel Crayon Rouge. The rooms are small, suitable for two people, and some noise from outside can be heard. The service is excellent, and you can leave your luggage there. Breakfast is simple, with bread and cheeses. A delightful surprise was the use of L’Occitane shampoo and shower gel. Day 2: Cafe de Flore - Seine River - Notre Dame - Place des Vosges - The Basilica of Sacré-Cœur 📍 We strolled along the Seine River and passed by Cafe de Flore, a beautifully designed café. On the river’s central island, there’s a park where dogs play—very charming. 📍 Continuing along, we found Les Bouquinistes de la Seine, a market selling artwork, and reached Notre-Dame Cathedral, which is under restoration after a major fire. Despite being closed, it still attracts many visitors. 📍 Place des Vosges: A large park with fountains at four corners, perfect for picnics or relaxing with friends. 📍 Dining: We ate at Le Temps des Cerises, a hidden gem recommended by a friend. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff speaks English, though the menu is in French. We tried the tender Iberico pork steak and escargots. Desserts are equally delightful. Reservations can be made via Google Maps. 📍 The Basilica of Sacré-Cœur: A historic church and must-visit landmark. It’s very crowded, and you can either climb the stairs or take the funicular. The stairs are quite challenging, so be prepared. 📍 Montmartre Street: Below the basilica, this street is filled with shops and charming cafés, though it can be quite busy. 🚆 Getting around Paris: If you prefer walking, you don’t need a One-Day Pass. For those who want to save energy, the One-Day Pass is recommended. You can select zones based on your destinations. For example, if only The Basilica of Sacré-Cœur is outside your zone, you can buy a separate ticket or a One-Day Pass that covers it. Check the RER website for details. Day 3-4: Disneyland Paris ✨ 🚃 On Day 3, we took a train to Marne-La-Vallée Chessy station, about 40 minutes away. Don’t worry about getting lost; you’ll see many people wearing Mickey Mouse ears boarding the train. - Upon arrival, follow the crowd or signs. After a short walk, queue for baggage and ticket checks. Booking tickets online is highly recommended to avoid long lines. If you’ve booked a Disney hotel, you can check in early and leave your luggage there. Free shuttle buses are available to various hotels. Follow the bus signs; the Disney bus station is furthest inside, past city buses and tour buses. 📍 Disneyland Paris is divided into two parks: Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios. When buying tickets, ensure you choose the right type—either for one park or both. If you buy tickets for both parks, you can move freely between them. 🍗 Dining: Reserve tables in advance or bring your own food, as park meals are quite pricey. - We spent the entire third day in the parks and enjoyed highlights like the drone and fireworks show, which was spectacular. If you’ve never been, it’s a must-try experience. - Staying at a hotel near the park has its perks. You don’t need to rush or compete for trains back to the city, especially during summer when fireworks start at 11 PM. In the morning, you can enter the park before opening hours, stroll around, and queue for popular rides like Peter Pan’s Flight or Ratatouille. - We recommend visiting Disneyland Park first from morning to evening to enjoy rides and parades. After 6 PM, head to Walt Disney Studios for more rides until the fireworks show. During summer, it stays bright until 10 PM, and Ratatouille’s evening queue is under 15 minutes. - On Day 4, we spent half the day in the park until 1 PM to finish the rides we missed. Then, we collected our luggage from the hotel and headed to the train station for our next journey.

#europeonbudget 🌟In the vibrant Marais district of Paris, a city known for its winding, medieval streets, the Place des Vosges is a startling and beautiful anomaly. As the oldest planned square in the city, it stands as a testament to King Henry IV's vision for a modern, elegant Paris. This isn't just a park with a few benches; it's a meticulously designed urban space with a rich history, surrounded by symmetrical red brick and stone facades that have housed some of France's most famous figures. While other travel guides might simply label it a "pretty square," they often miss its profound significance as a prototype for all European residential squares and as a quiet haven for those who appreciate history and beauty. 📌Location: Place des Vosges is located in the Marais district, straddling the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris. ✈️Getting There: * Metro: Saint-Paul (Line 1) or Chemin Vert (Line 8). Price Point: * Entrance to the square and garden: Free. * Maison de Victor Hugo: Free. * Shopping and dining: Prices at the surrounding cafes, restaurants, and boutiques can be high, as it is a very exclusive area.
