3 Days in Paris: A Complete Itinerary

Drafted the way Waiz drafts every trip — tell the AI wizard the where, when, and who, and it builds a plan like this one in seconds. This is what that first draft looks like for three days in Paris.

Day by day

1. 01

   Day 1 · The classics

   3 STOPS

   Land running — the icons are worth doing on day one, before the legs get tired.

   • 10:00Eiffel Tower & Trocadéro. Trocadéro's terrace gives the best first look at the tower — go up later, once you've seen it from below.
   • 14:00Seine riverside walk. From the tower toward the Musée d'Orsay — bridges, booksellers, and the best free view in the city.
   • Dinner in Saint-Germain. Bistro tables, a short list, and a carafe of house wine — no reservation needed if you eat before 8.
2. 02

   Day 2 · Art & the old city

   3 STOPS

   Book the Louvre ahead — everything else this day can be improvised.

   • 9:00The Louvre. Pick three wings and commit — trying to see everything is how you see nothing. Timed entry saves the line.
   • 14:00Île de la Cité. Notre-Dame's exterior and Sainte-Chapelle's stained glass, a short walk apart on the river's island.
   • 19:00Sunset at Sacré-Cœur. Climb Montmartre before dinner — the steps below the basilica are the whole city laid out at your feet.

   Day 3 · Local Paris & departure

   3 STOPS

   Slow morning, one more thing, home.

   • Market morning. A neighborhood market over a museum today — Marché Bastille or Rue Mouffetard, coffee in hand.
   • Musée d'Orsay or Luxembourg Gardens. Impressionists under a train-station roof, or a slow lap of Paris's most elegant park — either earns the trip.
   • Last stop before the airport. One more pastry, one more bridge — leave the suitcase at the hotel until the last possible minute.
