Buy a guide book! The Dorling Kindersley one gives suggested itineraries/walking routes. It all depends on what you are interested in. Versailles is fabulous but is a bit out of the city so would take up a whole day. If you are interested in art galleries, try the Musee D'Orsay or the Orangerie rather than the Louvre if pressed for time. Go into one of the famous bistros and have Onion Soup. Don't bother shopping but if you must go to Galleries Lafayette - fabulous building. Don't bother going out to the Eiffel Tower - you can see it from everywhere! If you go down the Champs Elysees and have coffee in one of the many cafes, don't moan about the price - look where you are and at what is passing outside! You could be paying just as much for a cup of coffee at Heuston Station.
My wife and I will spend 2 nights in Paris next week.
We arrive late on Tuesday, and leave fairly early Thursday.
So it's just Wednesday really.
Could we squeeze in Versailles, how long does it take to get there and is it on the metro ? Is Versailles worth a visit ?[/FONT]
Buy her a pair of FitFlops to resolve the walking issue. Can I second the boat trip (from Pont Neuf) and walking down to the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero (metro station).I'll try to get the missus to bring her trainers (so that we can walk as much as possible) . .
