Three Unforgettable Days in Paris! 🇫🇷✨
Three days in Paris = pure magic! If you ever wonder how to make every minute count, bookmark this packed itinerary. Here’s how I made the most of every single second—expect iconic sights, dazzling views, yummy food, and a little shopping spree. Ready, set, Paris!
Day 1: Early Bird Wins Paris 🕖
I landed in Paris at 7:30am, dropped my luggage in a locker, and dashed straight to the legendary Eiffel Tower (Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris—opens 9:30am to 11:45pm, last elevator up 11pm)! Beating the lines, I rode up in the *first* elevator of the day—no crowds, just jaw-dropping 360° city views. Literally felt like the main character! Snapped epic pics before heading to the Louvre Museum (Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, open daily except Tuesdays).
The Louvre was sooo good! Art overload until midday, followed by a delish lunch at a nearby café. Afterwards, I set off for a walking tour: first stop, the magical Sainte-Chapelle (8 Boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris, open 9am to 7pm, pre-book tickets!). Those stained glass windows are actual goals. Notre-Dame Cathedral was next (6 Parvis Notre-Dame – Pl. Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris)—free entry! I treated myself to a cozy coffee break before hopping on a bus to The Pantheon (Place du Panthéon, 75005 Paris, open 10am to 6pm, ticket needed). The Greek-style vibes here are unreal.
From the Pantheon, I bussed over to Paris’s very own Statue of Liberty (Île aux Cygnes, open 24/7), then finished the day with a river cruise (Port de la Bourdonnais, open 10am to 10:30pm). Sunset on the Seine is *next level* 💯. After the evening magic, grabbed dinner and finally checked in to my hotel.
Day 2: Museums and Moulin Rouge 💃🏼
Museum marathon! Started at Grand Palais (3 Avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris) and Petit Palais (Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris), then chilled in the beautiful Tuileries Gardens (Place de la Concorde, 75001 Paris). Next up: Palais Garnier (Opéra national de Paris, 8 Rue Scribe, 75009 Paris)—took breaks + lunch between the famous stops!
The night? Oh, it’s showtime! Scored Moulin Rouge tickets (82 Boulevard de Clichy, 75018 Paris—book in advance) and it was THE highlight. Absolute Parisian vibes! After the show, strolled the "erotic" street near Moulin Rouge for laughs (PG-rated, don’t worry 😂) and headed back to the hotel to crash.
Day 3: Shop Till You Drop & Bookworm Feels 🛍️📚
Last day = shopping spree in Paris’s fab shopping districts (Galeries Lafayette, 40 Boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris, open 10am to 8pm). Ended the trip at Shakespeare and Company Café (37 Rue de la Bûcherie, 75005 Paris, open 10am to 8pm), chilling in their dreamy bookshop, totally lost in the pages until it was time to grab my bags and head to the airport.
Hot Tips for Smooth Paris Vibes:
1. Score unlimited public transit with the Navigo pass (€12/day, airport lines not included).
2. If you’re on a museum binge, get the Museum Pass (€75/day)—saves major €€ and time!
The light and shadow are amazing, and choosing the right time is very important, otherwise it will be crowded. The combined ticket for the Sainte-Chapelle and the Old Conciergerie on Ctrip is very cost-effective. If you have time, I recommend going to both.
Paris is best enjoyed not by sightseeing but by wandering aimlessly. Strolling the streets without much planning, sitting by the roadside, eating, and drinking coffee. Enjoying the sunshine and then watching the Sainte-Chapelle's blues. Unlike the vibrant, vibrant Sagrada Familia, the blues are softer and the purples mysterious. The beautiful weather was a real bonus. I even brought back window decorations; they're truly beautiful.
The booking was really confirm no exchange ticket is needed. Recommended to book with the timeslot and you can easily enter the chapelle without waiting. Beware that ticket sold out very fast and the ticket included conciergerie which recommened to trvael back in time to see the virtual prison.
St. Chapel is a famous scenic spot in Paris. It is very close to Notre Dame in the core area of Paris and can be visited on foot. It is suggested that you can visit it on the same day. Chapel is best known for its stained glass, which is magical. There is also a French pot friend's opening exercises. There are sacred things in it, but it's too far to see clearly.
Every time I come to Paris, I will buy a pass to come and see. The Ile de la Cité is not only Notre Dame de Paris, but also the Sainte-Chapelle behind the Judicial Bureau. The lower chapel can see the beautiful blue roof. I like this old roof very much. I personally think that the glass windows of the upper chapel used by the owner of the second floor are one of the most exquisite glass windows.
Museum pass is free. Tickets can also be purchased here. Compared with other ticket attractions, there are fewer people queuing here, so it is very suitable to buy tickets here. The chapel is divided into two floors. The essence is on the second floor. It's all glass windows. It's just as beautiful as a crystal house.
The Sainte-Chapelle in Paris is a church with a history of more than 300 years. It is not very large, but it is a very important church in Paris. There are many believers who come here to worship every weekend. The interior is also very solemn and quiet. Coming here to listen to the sound of the mass, I feel that my soul is purified a lot.
Paris Saint Chapel is a small and exquisite church. The walls and stained glass are the most exquisite. The slight angle gives it a dynamic beauty. In addition, there is a small museum in the chapel, which exhibits many exquisite religious utensils, which is worth seeing.
