There’s not a whole lot going on besides the Opera. If you use this as a home base, you’ll be spending your time in other places, for the most part, and sleeping here. That’s not necessarily a terrible thing, since you’ll be saving money while you do it, but it’s worth noting. There are, however, some excellent places to eat and drink in the area, which is nice. Perfect for families or groups of friends traveling together, Le Matissia offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments which can accommodate up to 6 people. Instead, there are several ways you can experience everything the city has to offer on a budget. Plan Your Trip

Later, make your way to the Galeries Lafayette for a special experience! You may think it’s just a shopping mall, but it’s the most luxurious shopping mall in the most luxurious city in the world – so it’s a tourist attraction all on its own. Being a city so large, so developed, and so well-known, of course even with 7 days in Paris, you’re not going to be able to see everything. But you’ll find out that’s not the point.Always use the bathroom when in a restaurant or at your accommodation. You have to pay for public restrooms in Paris! If it’s your first trip to Paris, you might feel like you have to visit the Louvre, but don’t feel any pressure to do so—honestly, the Mona Lisa is rather disappointing. We planned to head to Le Marais neighbourhood for dinner, and I do recommend this if you have the energy. This is a relatively small chapel that is not too far from Notre Dame, but the interior, which consists of almost floor to ceiling stained glass, is absolutely outstanding. It will definitely take your breath away. First of all, I like that this is a family-owned hotel in a city full of chain hotels. The hotel was first opened in 1901, but the current family took over in the 1960’s, and has run it ever since.

As you get into planning your trip, you might find some of these other detailed guides we’ve written about Paris helpful. A one week in Paris itinerary would be incomplete without a day trip and Versailles is easily the top choice. Other ideas for a day trip are Strasbourg, Disneyland Paris, and Normandy. The good news is that whilst having a few days to explore Paris is wonderful, it’s also possible to see many of the highlights of Paris in a day. And in this post, that’s just what we’re going to help you do.For example, if the layover is six hours and you only have three days in Paris, six hours in an airport is a significant time commitment. Absolutely! Even if you only have time for one day in Paris, it’s worth visiting the City of Lights. It’s a walkable city and you can see a lot on a short break, plus enjoy some delicious treats along the way. Planning on spending just one day in Paris? Sure, it’s not very long. Trying to see the best of Paris in one day is no easy task: the French capital is an enormous, layered, and deeply complex city with something interesting to visit in every district of Paris. With a little advance planning, though, you’ll be surprised at just how many Paris highlights and top monuments you can cover with just 1 day in Paris! We crossed over to the island on the Pont Neuf and walked through the pleasant triangular square Place Dauphine.

Travelling outside of this peak season helps you save on the cost of flights and hotels and spend less time in the queues at major attractions since fewer travellers are visiting. Choose from a range of room options, from downright tiny (“the shoebox”) to more spacious (“biggy”). The space is used well, so you won’t feel cramped. Plus, won’t you be out exploring Paris anyway? Once the epicenter of political, religious, and social life, it’s on Ile-de-la-Cité, the small island in the middle of the Seine River. It is here where the first Royal Palace stood, as well as the city’s main religious and institutional buildings. As such, it is not surprising that some of the best things to do in Paris in one day are located in Ile-de-la-Cité.
