Paris in 3 Days: What to Do, Where to Go and How to Plan Your First Trip

Send us Fan MailParis is one of those cities everyone has an opinion about, which is exactly why we put off recording this episode for so long.In this episode, we’re breaking down how we would plan a first trip to Paris if you have three or four days. This is the actual itinerary Lisa gives people when they ask what to do, based on our own trips, living there for six months and all the things we always go back to.We talk about starting with a walking tour or a slightly ridiculous vintage Rolls-Royce tour, having a low-key picnic in Luxembourg Gardens, taking a Seine cruise at sunset and building in time for Saint-Chapelle, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, Sacré-Cœur and a few classic Paris food moments.We also get into what is worth booking ahead, where Paris feels overwhelming, why you need to watch for pickpockets and why sitting at a café doing absolutely nothing is still one of the best things to do in the city.In this episode we cover:• How to plan 3 days in Paris • The best first-day activities in Paris • Luxembourg Gardens, Saint-Chapelle and the Seine • When to visit the Eiffel Tower • Why Montmartre is still worth it • Paris with kids and teens • Pickpocket tips and practical travel advice • A few favorite food stops, including La Dôme, La Rotonde, Homer and street crêpesFor more Paris travel guides, visit The Getawayz.Support the show
