Booked trip to Paris---need a little advice
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 10th, 2018 11:00 AM Author: Sooty Base First time there.
Saturday to Following Sunday---week of Thanksgiving.
Staying very near the Passy Metro in the 16th ARR.
Friends/Colleagues have told me to go to London or some other city. 8 days is too long they say.
Looking at just the tourist stuff (Louvre/ND/Orsay/Arc de Triomphe/Sac ocreu/ eiffel etc) it looks like there is a shit ton to do?
Also, I want to spend some time sitting in a cafe, drinking, reading a book and then just getting lost in Montremarte or the Left Bank or whatever.
Am I dumb to spend the entire week in just Paris? (furthest I think I will venture is Versailles) |

Date: June 10th, 2018 12:02 PM Author: bossy organic girlfriend selfie No, you can spend weeks there and not run out of stuff to do. Especially if you like history. I would have liked 2 days for Versailles alone. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3998326&forum_id=2#36217584) |

Date: June 10th, 2018 12:07 PM Author: lime low-t goyim Eight days probably too little, especially because you're going to fall into the leisurely pace of Parisian lifestyle. The tourist loop that you describe is basically along the river and can be accomplished in a day or two depending on how much time you spend at each site and how much walking you can tolerate Would definitely throw a day in Versailles into the middle or beginning For perspective, art students will spend a month in Paris on the louvre alone. History students can be similar with respect to Versailles. I also enjoy the Luxembourg gardens. |

Definitely go to Versailles, and if you really run out of things to do (you won’t) Chartres is a great town with an incredible cathedral an hour away by train (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3998326&forum_id=2#36217625) |

Date: June 10th, 2018 12:16 PM Author: Stirring stain 8 days based in Paris is not ridiculous. I lived there for a year and there’s still more to do. Versailles is only 40ish minutes from the city Center and worth a full day to go explore. Also a day trip to Fontainblue 30 mins) and Monets house (you can walk around the Lilly pond) is def worth it....with the travel day when you get there/leave, you’re really only talking about 5 days in the city itself, which is a good amount of time.

Date: June 10th, 2018 12:22 PM Author: Red Marvelous Piazza If you are worried about spending too oafishly long of a time in Paris, spice it up with day trips. Go to Versailles one day, and go to other French cities on other days. Take like 3 day trips.
You don't need to go as far as London. |
