The gist

Paris is a museum city wrapped around café terraces, river walks, and neighborhood markets. The icons (Louvre, Eiffel, Musée d’Orsay) deserve the hype; the quieter wins are an afternoon in the Marais and a picnic along the Canal Saint-Martin.

Why go

Louvre & d’Orsay

Le Marais

Eiffel Tower at dusk

Seine + Latin Quarter

Advisor notes

COMMON MISTAKE

Trying to "do" the Louvre in full — it is enormous; pick three wings, pre-book, and leave before museum fatigue ruins the rest of the day.

SKIP THIS

The midday Eiffel Tower summit queue. Book the first or last slot, or skip the top entirely and take the classic photo from Trocadéro.

TIMING MATTERS

Many restaurants and shops close in August; spring and early autumn give you mild weather, full menus, and longer daylight on the terraces.
