🗼 7-Day Paris Itinerary
The City of Light awaits
Your 7-Day Paris Plan
A week in Paris means you can skip the rush entirely — slower mornings, longer lunches, and the freedom to discover your own favourite corner of the city. You'll cover the icons but also find a neighbourhood café you return to every day.
Day 1
Eiffel Tower and First Evening
Arrive at the Champ de Mars early, do the Eiffel Tower summit, then a Seine cruise to get your bearings. Check into your hotel and spend the evening exploring your immediate neighbourhood — the best way to start any Paris trip.
Day 2
The Louvre, Full Day
The Louvre deserves a full day — the Richelieu wing (French painting, Islamic art) is just as extraordinary as the Denon wing but sees a fraction of the visitors. Take a long lunch break at the Café Marly with its iconic view of the pyramid, then return for the afternoon.
Day 3
Versailles
Full day at Versailles — palace in the morning, gardens and the Petit Trianon hamlet in the afternoon. Marie-Antoinette's private retreat is far more intimate and atmospheric than the main palace. Return to Paris for a quiet dinner.
Day 4
Montmartre Village
Spend the entire morning in Montmartre without rushing — the Sacré-Cœur, the vineyard, the Dali museum, and a long lunch at a neighbourhood bistro on one of the quieter squares. Afternoon at the Moulin Rouge area and the lively Boulevard de Clichy.
Day 5
Musée d'Orsay and Saint-Germain
The d'Orsay is best on a weekday morning — the Impressionist galleries on the top floor are extraordinary and rarely crowded before 11am. Cross the Seine to Saint-Germain for lunch, then explore the covered passages of the 2nd arrondissement in the afternoon — Galerie Vivienne is a highlight.
Day 6
Le Marais Deep Dive
A full day in Le Marais: the Jewish Quarter on Rue des Rosiers for late breakfast, the Musée Picasso, the Centre Pompidou (exterior at minimum, full visit if you love modern art), and an evening in the Bastille neighbourhood with its lively bar scene.
Day 7
Père Lachaise and Canal Saint-Martin
Morning at Père Lachaise cemetery — atmospheric, beautiful, and home to the graves of Chopin, Proust, Edith Piaf, and Jim Morrison. Walk north to the Canal Saint-Martin neighbourhood for lunch at one of the waterside restaurants, then browse the independent boutiques along the canal for the afternoon.
