(Last Update: 02.04.2024) Earlier A Week in Paris I wrote an article on the subject and made various suggestions for those who will come to Paris for the first time about what they can do for a week. Of course, not everyone has that much time. For that reason For those who need a shorter tour program In this article, I will tell you what you can do in Paris for 3 nights and 4 days, about where you can visit on your own I will try to give an idea. Of course, giving priority to the general audience For those coming to Paris for the first time I have to prioritize.
We are planning a 3 Nights 4 Days Paris tour, so we are in Paris for four days, our time is limited. Well, it is not possible to see everything at once, we have to prioritize things and move through things quickly. However, you are free to spend much more time than I recommend to places that are important and privileged to you. Then you can eliminate other things and revise your own program according to your own taste. If you have seen the places in this article 1 Week Paris Tour You can also create your own unique list by reviewing and eliminating the places in my article. If you've been to Paris several times before then Alternative 15 Days in Paris From my article, you can create a program for yourself from a few places that I think you have never seen before.

4. Day
How quickly the holiday ends. We are on the last day of our 3 Nights 4 Days Paris tour. Probably before I go to the airport today. The more places we see, the more profitable it is. you think. Come on then quickly Châtelet Bastille Let's look around, especially Marais District It is a wealth in itself. Whichever corner you look at, you come across an interesting place. Forum des Halles, Centre Pompidou, Vosges Square – Place des Vosges, Victor Hugo's House, Picasso Museum – Musée Picasso, Village Saint Paul, Arts et Métiers Museum, Port of Arsenal – Port de l'Arsenal and many other places to visit are located in this area, but it is very difficult to see them all at once. You need to look at the links, choose the ones you like the most and create a program accordingly. Oh also Musée d'Orsay – Orsay MuseumIt is necessary to squeeze it in somewhere, but I don't know if you will have time, you can squeeze it somewhere today or one of the previous three days, depending on the time of your return flight. If not, next time.
And then - unfortunately - or - fortunately - it's homecoming. It's nice to be in Paris, but it's also nice to have a home to return to; Don't be upset, Paris will be waiting patiently for your next visit.
Actually there is a lot more to do but 3 nights 4 days Paris It can only be visited so much. Maybe out of town Palace of Versailles It is very important for you; then eliminate things spend at least half a day You need to separate it here. I don't think you should do this; Explore Paris first and leave it for another time.
For many people Disneyland Paris It is an important destination, but if you are going to spend your holiday for that purpose and stay for a short time, it is almost impossible to visit Paris. Maybe you can make a daily program just from the options above; for Disneyland If it's your priority and you're in Paris for three nights, it would be wiser to stay that way.
I tried to give you a very brief example of a 3 Nights 4 Days Paris tour program. Some of you may not be able to complete this program due to fatigue, weather conditions, and various priorities. Some of you, as exploration monsters, have completed all the tracks and said "well, isn't there any more?" he might ask. Of course there is.
For example, Europe's largest financial center Defense, which is a great museum Quai Branly Museum, an interesting building Great Mosque of Paris, for the view of Paris from the skyscraper terrace Tour Montparnasse, two beautiful woodlands on opposite ends of Paris Bois de Boulogne ve Bois de VincennesIf you are interested in antiques and old items giant flea market, a spooky yet interesting place Paris Catacombs – CatacombesParis with balloons Ballon de Paris There is so much more to see.
I'm telling you, it's all for another time, another time... I haven't been able to finish the places to visit in Paris for all this time; It's not enough just to visit Paris. So you will always have a reason to come another time; Paris will always be waiting for you again.
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries.

Hello Mr. Ahmet,
We will be in Paris for New Year's Eve. We follow you with pleasure. Thanks to you, we have drawn a beautiful route by taking note of your tour program suggestions. We thank you for everything.
Happy, healthy days…
Thank you very much Ms. Ayşe,
I hope you have a pleasant holiday in Paris.
Happy Days…
The hotel is right across the RER C line. However, we are going on Wednesday. I think museums are open until late, perhaps as you said, the most logical one would be the Louvre museum after the Eiffel Tower.
Thank you very much 😉
Thank you very much for your valuable articles and Instagram stories. There is really no need to go to another site.
I also have a question, we will stay at Novotel Issy Les Moulineaux Paris. As you explained, I think it is the most logical thing to buy a navigo card, and since we can be at the hotel around 3 o'clock on the first day of the tour, should we start from Versailles?!? I couldn't make sense of where to go next, the first day!
Thanks again for your efforts, love.
Hello Ms. Demet,
First of all, thank you very much.
If your arrival day is suitable for Navigo, of course the Navigo card is the most economical solution as a transportation card. See: https://www.pariste.net/pariste-ulasim-18-en-ekonomik-ulasim-karti-navigo-decouverte/
The exact location of your hotel is important so that you can plan the first day of your trip in Paris and its surroundings. The first day program can be considered depending on which metro or RER station you are close to. If you are going to arrive at the hotel around 3 o'clock, it will take you until 4 o'clock to settle in and leave, and I think it does not make much sense to go to the Versailles side after that time. Especially if you want to visit the palace, you will be too late.
If it is your first time in Paris, I think it would be best to go directly to the Eiffel Tower after checking into the hotel, but you know.
Google's maps application will make your life easier to find out how to get from one place to another in Paris. You can find all transportation information there.
Have a nice holiday in advance.
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
I will be staying in Paris for 3 nights and 4 days in June, and since we will be with our child, we had the idea of going to Disneyland.
Since our child is small, the day starts early for us (it looks like we can travel for 10 hours during the day).
Do you think we can complete the places you mentioned above and Disneyland in 4 days? If elimination is necessary, would you recommend eliminating Disneyland or one of the other places?
Hello,
For families who will come to Paris with their children, Disneyland is an important part of their Paris trip. Therefore, sacrificing your trip to Paris for your child and devoting a day to Disneyland can be an unforgettable memory for the child.
If you are going to spend one day at Disneyland, of course it will not be easy to implement the entire program above, but this depends entirely on your performance.
I would advise you not to make your enjoyable trip to Paris tiring and tiring by squeezing everything together. Keep your heart at ease by thinking that you will come again at the first opportunity. After all, Paris is not a city to visit once.
However, if you can implement the entire program with Disneyland, I would like to congratulate you.
I wish you a happy holiday in advance.
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
I just wanted to thank you for your informative articles. We will come to Paris this month. Your site has been a great guide for us.
Thank you so much…
Hello there
I came across your site while gathering information for our trip to Paris. I think it is very beautiful. It was very helpful for you to tell about your experiences and share very important information. I wish I had discovered these articles before. I will read them all over and over again until they are gone. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. I hope you have a wonderful holiday in Paris.
I wish you happy days…
Hello Mr. Ahmet. I came across your channel while browsing the internet for informational purposes before our trip to Paris. Our trip to Paris was very easy and productive with the information we received from the articles and videos. We enjoyed it very much and it was not difficult. We saw beforehand what to do and how to do it. Thank you very much, with best regards...
Hello Mr. Murat,
I'm glad I contributed to your having a nice holiday in Paris.
I hope you have many enjoyable trips.
Thank you also for your nice comment.
Happy Days.
Hello,
I was in Paris between 28 April and 01 May. It was my first time and I came across your site while doing research on Paris. After I came across it, I never felt the need to do research on another site :) I'm glad I found your site, thanks to you, I wandered around the streets and metro of Paris without feeling unfamiliar. Thank you for providing very useful information. Everything was great except the cold weather.
Hello Ms. Öznur,
Thank you very much for your nice comment. Believe me, I am very happy that your trip to Paris went well. I try to make the lives of those who will come to visit Paris easier, as much as I can, with my articles. Oh, I wish I had the power to make the weather nice all the time, but I can't achieve that much :) As you know, the weather in Paris goes one way or another, it's all a matter of luck...
I hope you have many more beautiful trips.
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
I had a wonderful trip to Paris for 24 nights and 29 days with my wife and daughter between 2018-5 April 6. Before coming to Paris, I spent the last month reading the articles on this blog and watching the videos on your YouTube channel. While I was leaving, I had some questions in my mind: I was wondering if we would have any difficulties since I do not speak French and we will come completely independently, not with a tour, but I must say that everything in Paris became very easy, thanks to these articles and videos. I found it as if I had put my hands everywhere, as if I had been there many times before.
Paris is truly a city to fall in love with. Even though we left the hotel every morning after breakfast and wandered around until our feet fell off, we couldn't finish everything. 5 days, not even 15 days, are not enough for this city. But I can say that we did almost all of the places that a tourist should definitely see during a short trip to Paris. We devoted 1 full day to Disneyland (plus 2 parks). If our Navigo cards could speak, we would probably have transported at least 5 euros in 150 days.
By the way, I have a question for you: I am an İşbank employee. Our subsidiary İşbank GMBH has a branch in Paris. Have you ever seen it? Do you know in which district it is?
Thank you very much for the valuable information you provided and your efforts. I hope I will have the chance to come to this beautiful city again and meet you one day. I wish you success in your work. Best regards.
Hello Mr. Engin,
I am very glad that you had a nice holiday in Paris, I am glad that I contributed to this.
The İş Bankası branch you mentioned is located at 13 Place Kossuth, 75009 Paris.
I hope you have many nice trips.
Happy Days.
Hello, first of all, thank you for your useful articles and the effort you put in.
Apart from the additional suggestions in the last part of your article, are there any other places to visit that are outside zone 2? Would it be enough if we buy a mobilis ticket that covers zone 2? Our hotel is located at ibis budget Paris Porte de Vincennes, 2 Avenue Léon Gaumont and I think it is in zone 2.
Thanks:)
Hello Ms. Buse,
First of all, thank you for your interest and nice comment.
Yes, 1-2 zone daily Mobilis tickets will do the trick for the places mentioned in this article (except for airport transportation, of course).
If you just want to go to La Défense, you need to use the metro, not the RER. Because interestingly, when you go to La Défense by RER, it is considered the 3rd zone, and when you go by metro, it is considered the 2nd zone.
Apart from that, 1-2 zones of Mobilis is sufficient.
I wish you happy days.
Dear Mr. Ahmet, thank you for the information. I have a question for you. I read your 4-day holiday plan. It was very good. What do you think is the minimum budget needed for this holiday plan? Hotel and transportation are all included???
Hello, it is so difficult to answer this question. Because everyone's living standards, priorities, tastes and essentials are different. However, to give you an idea, we can make a budget as follows: I think it is necessary to allocate 250-300 Euros for a round-trip flight ticket from Turkey to Paris. If you find a flight ticket under 250 Euros, we can call it "affordable"; If it is under 200 Euros, it is "cheap". As for the hotel, it seems that you need to allocate a budget of 100-150 Euros per night for a double room, although this varies from person to person. An amount between 50-100 Euros can be discussed for daily food and drink. Of course, it's about how you will spend the day. Will you eat a sandwich, diet or have fun? Whether you like luxury or modesty changes completely. The number can go up a lot, but it seems like it's not possible to bring it down too much. However, it is of course possible to have a student holiday... It depends on which day you come for transportation. If Navigo is suitable for you (see: Navigo Decouverte article), then theoretically we can say that the transportation issue is solved for 25-26 Euros for now. It is difficult for me to directly say a budget that says "it will cost this much in total", but I can give these figures as approximately average.
Hello,
You need to take bus number 350 near your hotel to the Parc des Expositions stop, and from there you can take the RER-B and go to the city. You will even be able to get to Gare de l'Est and reach all parts of the city from there without ever getting off this bus. It would be better if the people at the hotel reception give directions to the nearest bus stop number 350 when you arrive.
Have a nice holiday in advance.
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
We want to act according to your tour program, but I think the place we will stay is Campanile Roissy Invest Hotel and it is quite far from the city center. I still haven't figured out which public transportation vehicle we can use to reach the center. Do you have any information about this?
Hello Mr. Ahmet, we are in Paris in 2 days. We will stay for 5 nights and 6 days. But since I have a naughty little son, I think I can complete this four-day program. I enjoyed reading your articles and benefited them a lot. Everything came to life before my eyes even before I arrived. I am grateful for sharing all your experiences and writing with a fluency that can be read again and again without getting tired, Best regards.
Hello…
Believe me, it would not be so easy to prepare this blog without your valuable supportive messages; Thank you very much.
In this article, I tried to give a busy program in a compact way. If you spread the same program over a longer period of time, you will travel more thoroughly. I hope the little naughty one will take pity on you and let you have a more enjoyable holiday :)
We hope it will be a trip filled with unforgettable Paris memories.
Love and respect…
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
My wife and I completed the 4-day program and returned from Paris 2 days ago. We benefited greatly from the information and sharing you provided. It was a problem-free and very enjoyable holiday. Thank you very much :)
Yours,
Emre
Hello Mr. Emre,
I am very glad that you had a nice holiday, and I am also happy that I had a small contribution to it.
Thank you so much.
On the last morning, we have breakfast at a small patisserie near our hotel. Since it is a Sunday and the area is not a touristic area, things are quiet. To enjoy this tranquility, we walk to Pont de Grenelle and move on to the artificial island on the Seine. Here is a small example of the Statue of Liberty. Then, walking along the island, we arrive at Pont de Bir Hakeim, one of the beautiful bridges over the river. From here, we disembark again and go to the Batobus stop for the river tour. In this two-hour tour, we pass by many symbols of Paris that we may or may not have seen. We disembark again in the Saint Michel region. The square and fountain here are worth seeing. While wandering around here, we do not forget to take photos on Rue du Chat Qui Péche, the narrowest street in Paris. Shakespeare And Company also appears and greets us.
We walk to Saint Germain boulevard. We walk along this boulevard again and have a coffee break at Les Deux Magots. The musicians in the corner are playing as if to say, look, Paris is so beautiful, don't go. We continue walking south, saying we'll stop by Cafe de Flore next time. The last stop of our trip is Saint Sulpice church. We see the Rose Line in the church featured in the movie The Da Vinci Code and head to Denfert-Rochereau from the nearest metro station. As soon as we arrive, we set off towards the airport with Orlybus.
It was a great program, congratulations and thank you for sharing…
Our destination after breakfast on the second day is Eiffel. Although it was very close to the hotel, in order not to waste time, we got off by metro at the Bir Hakeim stop and started walking to the tower. There are so many bettors and how easy it seems to win. More black people from Africa are trying to sell with tiny towers on their arms. When we arrived at the tower, as we expected, a long queue moved at an unexpected pace. It is very nice to look at Paris from the tower and see the places you have visited and will visit. The nice weather added to our enjoyment. The security measures have increased compared to my previous visits, but I cannot imagine what has happened after the recent attacks. After getting off the tower, we watch the magnificent view of the tower from the Trocadero square opposite and take my daughter's order photos. The tower really looks different from here. From here, we take the metro to the Charles De Gaulle stop for our Champs Elysees tour, which we postponed in the evening. The Arc de Triomphe is our starting point. Since we just looked at Paris from above, we continue without leaving. It is a wide and navigable street with its cafes and famous shops. However, when you want to go down to the Seine shore via Avenue Montaigne, you see what the real street is. All brands are waiting for their real customers here. Plaza Athene is a hotel whose front looks like a luxury car dealership. It looks so cozy with its orange shutters. I think the couple in the movie Le weekend stayed at this hotel. The end of this ultra-luxury street is Alma-Marceau. The place where Diana crashed. Even though it is not related to the subject, it is as if a torch has been placed in his memory.
When you land on the banks of the river, a different Paris welcomes you. If you turn left and proceed, you will see Pont Alexandre III. We walked through the wooded area parallel to the river until the bridge. A monument at every step, a history at every step. These French people love and protect history and nature very much... The bridge is a work of art, opposite it is Invalides. Behind us are the Small and Big Palaces. Continuing along the river, we arrive at Place de la Concorde. It's a magnificent square. In the middle is an obelisk from Egypt. Everyone who has anything to do with Paris knows the historical importance of the square. When you look from the square in the direction of Chamsp Elysees, there is a regular street, the Triumphal Arch and the Grand Arche behind it.
As we pass through the Tuileries garden adjacent to the square, we take a breather in the green chairs and watch the surroundings, filling our hearts with a little more Paris. The continuation of the garden is the Louvre museum. We leave seeing the bottom and top of the pyramid and visiting the inside until the next trip. Due to intense insistence on Paris blogs, we did not miss the Benlux store. We went from where the museum ends to the Pont des Arts and put on our locks. Although we heard that the locks on the bridge were removed shortly after us, it was okay to skip this ritual. We pass to the large island on the river via Pont Neuf. Here we get lost among the streets and reach Notre Dame. We take photos at Point Zero and start our tour inside the church. I don't know about the pyramids, but aliens definitely built this place. It's not really human work. It cannot be explained, it is experienced. Definitely a must see…
We pass to the small island without getting rid of the magic of this place. Bands playing music on the road add color to our trip. On this quieter island, we follow the recommendations and enjoy ice cream at Berthillon. It's really delicious. Or that's what Paris feels like. We shop for our friends from a small wine house. From here, we first move to the Le Marais side and then to the other side, the Latin area. These are lively areas where there are suitable places for midday snacks and the activity is at its peak.
The sun is slowly setting. We are returning by completing our tour today. We come to Champs Elysees again. After doing some shopping for my children and my wife, we are not taking any risks in terms of food this time and are making Pizza Pino. On our way back to the hotel, we prefer to walk down to the banks of the Seine. From a distance, the lights of the tower look very attractive. The Champ de Mars under the feet of the tower is perfect for lying on the greenery and watching the light dance of the tower. Paris is beautiful at night, beautiful during the day, always beautiful...
I would like to describe our trip here to help those with limited time and to show how useful research and planning in advance is.
Since we were leaving the children, we reserved time for 3 days and 2 nights. The date is the beginning of May. Let's not forget to mention that we gain advantage in ticket and accommodation by booking early.
Our flight departed on Friday morning and we landed at Orly airport at noon. We went with Pegasus and had no problems including delays. When we got off, we left gate K without even looking at the signs and headed to Orlybus, the most suitable transportation vehicle for us, waiting for us on platform number 3. We bought our tickets from the machine and got on the bus. Even though it was a bit crowded, it was nice to reach Denfert-Rochereau station in a short time. Frankly, I didn't expect to reach the city center in such a short time. Anyway, from here we reached the Cambronne stop by taking line 6, using the mathematics of the Paris metro, which I was familiar with and admired before. Our choice of hotel was Ibis Tour Eiffel Cambronne because I had stayed there before. Its location is safe and central, it is comfortable and clean, its staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Things are even easier when you check in online on their website. You get your key by simply showing your passport.
We threw our belongings and ran out immediately. The Paris air that I have breathed many times felt different this time. I realized that love in Paris is no different. Paris is different with love.
Our first destination is the Montmartre area, my favorite place in Paris. By the way, the 10 carnet served us well throughout the trip. Because we walked most of the time, Paris is a city worth experiencing and seeing every step of the way.
We found ourselves on line number 6 again. We changed to line 2 at the Charles De Gaulle stop and got off in Pigal. Even though Abesses was closer to our goal, the information we obtained about the stairs at the exit guided us in this way. I'm finally in the streets I miss, in the Paris I miss. And with my wife.
We walked up from the Pigal stop and reached Abesses square. The Saint-Jean church and the I Love You wall were among the places to see here. The church has a different structure from outside and inside. The I love you wall is a beautifully thought out beauty. And in such a modest place... We walked west and reached the carousel square of the Amelie movie. Sacre Coeur looks very magnificent from here. We slowly climbed the stairs in the park, enjoying the view in front of us and behind us, and without having a rope tied to our wrists. Of course, we didn't leave without enjoying lying in the greenery. Sacre Coeur is a place with a different world on the outside and a different world on the inside. It's impossible not to admire it. I hope that tourists coming to Turkey feel the same feelings about Sinan's works.
We left here and came to Place du Tetre. It doesn't have the old atmosphere anymore. The cafes overflowing into the central area has lost its magic. Still, it's a place worth seeing. We continue to walk the cobblestone streets of Montmartre and store that air everywhere in our bodies. We witness a vineyard in the middle of Paris with Clos Montmartre, and windmills with Le Moulin de la Galetta. We like to see Lapin Agile cabaret, Dalida and Marcel Ayme squares. As we walk along Rue Lepic and observe the daily life of Paris, we do not miss Amelie's workplace. When we arrive at Boulevard de Clichy, the Red Mill is in front of us. After walking along the street and seeing Pigal's opportunities that meet all kinds of tastes, we find ourselves in Painters' Square again and take a breather in a Paris cafe as we continue on Rue de Steinkerque street, where there are shops selling souvenirs.
When we came to the end of our Montmartre tour, it was getting dark. From Place de Clichy stop, we took line 2 again to Charles De Gaulle stop. Now we are in Champs Elysees, one of the most well-known Paris attractions that has been the subject of movies and music. Due to the tiredness of the long journey that started early in the morning and the fact that we have energy left for tomorrow, we postpone the street tour for now and return to the hotel by metro.
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
Your site is incredibly useful. You touched on every topic in a very systematic and detailed manner. He was a great guide for us... However, we have a question in our minds: We will be in Paris this Friday and of course we want to go to the Eiffel Tower. As far as we know, it has been closed for a long time due to unfortunate events. I would like to consult you on this matter. Thanks
Hello, first of all, thank you very much for your valuable comment.
The Eiffel Tower was closed to visitors only for the first day or two for security reasons, and then access to the tower was stopped once or twice hourly. Other than that, there is no closure, so the Eiffel is open to visitors. Of course, short-term closures may occur at any time due to possible notices, I cannot say anything about this.
You can read the latest developments regarding security in Paris from the article at this link: https://www.pariste.net/13-kasim-saldirilari-sonrasi-paristeki-son-gelismeler-ve-guvenlik/
happy holidays
Thank you for your response, we are relieved. Since Eiffel tickets could not be purchased online at the moment, we were sure that it was closed. I think it is only closed to online sales. Thanks again for your interest.
Yours.
Hello Mr. Ahmet,
We are in Paris right now and I wanted to thank you for this wonderful article that you have prepared as a travel guide. We really benefited from it a lot.
Hello Ms. Neslihan, thank you very much, you are very kind. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. Happy Days
Hello Mr. Ahmet…
Thank you very much for your contributions. Goodbye to share our opinions when we return.
FEELING
Hello Mr Ahmed,
Your pages are full of beautiful instructions that are enlightening and enjoyable to read.
Thank you for sharing your information.
It will guide us for our first trip to Paris. We are coming for 3 nights in the last week of February and plan to benefit from your 3-day program.
I hope that we can travel without getting lost, with your explanations and suggestions.
Have a nice day.
FEELING
Thank you very much Ms. Handan,
I hope you have an unforgettable holiday.
Happy Days
Hello again Mr. Ahmet,
If I don't tire you out, can I find out the current entrance fees for the places we will visit? We will spend 2 full days and 2 half days, according to your suggestions, mainly Eiffel, Triumphal Arch, Louvre Museum (part of it), Notre Dame, Montmarte, Shapelle..
We will try not to miss the details you provide while traveling.
Would it make sense to buy entrance tickets online before arriving! Will we have any problems there?
Also, can I get your comments about The Little Prince theatre?
I hope I haven't bored or tired you.
With love and respect, HİS
Hello Ms. Handan,
Unfortunately, I have no information about the Little Prince Theatre...
Among the places you will visit, it may be beneficial for you to buy your Eiffel ticket online before you arrive, because the ticket queue there is always very long. There is not much need for the Louvre, there are not many queues for tickets in the vending machines inside, but still, you know. Ticket prices as of February 2015 are as follows:
Eiffel price varies according to floors: between 5€ and 15,50€
Entrance to Notre Dame is free, but climbing the towers costs 8,5€
Triumphal Arch: 9,5€
Sainte Chapelle: 8,5€
However, it may be useful to go to the websites of the places you want to see and find out the current prices before you come, because there may be changes.
Happy Days.
Hello again dear Ahmet Öre (We met with your article about city toilets)
First of all, thank you once again, I really benefited a lot from what you wrote; Thank you to your hands and your heart.
I know it will take your time, but I need your help before our first trip to Paris, which starts on Saturday and ends on Thursday.
We decided to adopt your 3 nights 4 days Paris program for our trip. However, since the 4th day in the program is not our return day, we have one full day extra. I didn't know whether to use this extra time for the Palace of Verasilles, the Bastille or the Defense side. What do you think?
Secondly, I am very confused about transportation.
Roughly speaking, it seems appropriate to provide CDG – Hotel transportation with a single ticket on the first day (since we will be at the hotel in the evening, a small discovery tour on foot will be sufficient) and to buy a "Paris visite" for the other 5 days. However, if we do not go to Verasiles, we are staying within the metro network, there will be no need to use RER except for the airport transfer. Which type of ticket or card option would you recommend in such a case? On the other hand, we will be visiting many museums, would Paris Visite Card be advantageous? Also, in your article titled "Transportation 8 in Paris", you see "Metro + RER" in the "transfers" list, can we accept the opposite as "RER + Metro" as possible? Because our arrival from CDG to the hotel will be in this order.
Please excuse me for this series of questions, and thank you in advance and again for your answer.
I hope I don't come up with another question and my next message will be to share my impressions after returning from the trip :) T.
Hello,
First of all, thank you for your comment.
Yes, I need to give you an epic answer, but let me try to summarize it as much as I can:
I think if you have time, you should definitely go to the Palace of Versailles. If the weather is good, you can first visit the palace and then walk around the garden. If it is not good, after visiting the palace, you can come to La Défense and visit there for a maximum of one hour. Otherwise, La Défense is not an indispensable place, it is just very meaningful to me and different in that it is the modern face of the city.
The ticket issue is all about accounting, I don't know what to say. Since I use Navigo annually and have my guests buy daily Mobilis tickets, I am a bit of a novice in these transfer matters, because doing the calculations is very tiring. When you mentioned it, I looked at RATP's website. The issue of RER + Metro is not clear, but I remember from the time I was a tourist, we could switch to the Metro after RER, I don't think there will be a problem.
Paris Visite is meaningful if you are going to go to the places it includes and get a discount, otherwise you can get by with daily Mobilis, you can buy a daily ticket depending on the zone you go to and travel unlimitedly. But as I said, it depends on which places and zones you will visit on which day, you need to make good calculations...
I think I can say these in summary :)
Have a nice holiday in advance.
Thank you very much for your interest and quick return, I believe you will contribute to our trip, which I think will be enjoyable. Best regards,
Dear Mr. Ahmet,
Thank you very much for your answers to the questions I asked about our Paris trip last week and for the information you provided on the site. We really benefited from it, we learned a lot about it before we even went there. We couldn't visit every place we planned, but it was a very enjoyable trip. Ours was a trip with plenty of cafes, without worrying about seeing this or that. We could not complete La Defense and Versaille. However, we saw the "Musee des arts et Metiers" by taking advantage of the information behind the "Paris Museum Pass". (Now I realize that you also wrote about this.) It was really impressive, especially for my wife. For me, it is the "Opera" building that I have wanted to be in since the first day I saw its photo. For my daughter, everywhere is Paris...
We did the transportation with 10-carnets, we walked a lot, especially in the first two days, we saw many places close to each other, it was actually very nice, when we got tired, we went to a cafe... (By the way, we learned that there was no Mobilis for children). We bought a 4-day "Museum Pass", we entered every museum we wanted to see as much as our time allowed, it was advantageous for us. We definitely recommend it.
To make a long story short, Mr. Ahmet, thank you again. Even though a trip to Paris is not on the horizon, I will continue to read what you write with pleasure.
I hope everything goes well,
Yours,
T
Hello again,
I was very happy to learn that you enjoyed visiting Paris, including your nice comment. Your valuable comments are what give me the strength to continue, so thank you very much.
As you have experienced and seen, there is never a shortage of things to do in Paris, so I hope you will come here again, even in the medium or long term, and continue your trip where you left off.
I wish you happy days
Hello Ms. Damla
First of all, let me wish you a pleasant journey. The weather is very cold these days, I recommend you to dress warmly. I wish it would snow so that the Christmas atmosphere in the city would be complete. It hasn't been this cold in a long time. Maybe you can bring us the sun when you come?
Have a nice holiday in advance…
Hello,
We will be there next Sat. I wish we could meet you :) How nice it would be.
Yours
