This itinerary starts at the hotel and keeps transport to a minimum: Notre-Dame and the Louvre are under 20 minutes’ walk away. ## Day 1: Le Marais on foot Place des Vosges, a museum (Carnavalet or Picasso), lunch on rue de Bretagne, rue des Rosiers, then dinner around Bastille. The detail is in our article [one day in Le Marais](https://www.hotel-herse-dor.com/en/blog/one-day-in-the-marais). ## Day 2: the islands, Notre-Dame and the Louvre Walk to Île Saint-Louis, calm and residential, then cross to Île de la Cité. Notre-Dame, saved from the 2019 fire, reopened to the public in December 2024: you can go in again, depending on the crowds. Nearby, Sainte-Chapelle and its stained glass are a must. Then cross the Seine to the Louvre: book your time slot in advance and plan to see only part of the museum, it is enormous. Notre-Dame and the Louvre are less than 20 minutes’ walk from the hotel. ## Day 3: line 1, from Concorde to Étoile Take line 1 at Bastille to Tuileries and cross the Tuileries garden towards Place de la Concorde. Then go up the Champs-Élysées on foot or by métro to the Arc de Triomphe (Charles de Gaulle–Étoile station). For a last evening, head back down to the Seine for a walk along the water. ## A few practical tips - Alternate an active morning with a calm afternoon: Paris distances are longer than they look. - Book busy places in advance (Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle, monuments) to avoid queues. - Keep a slot for rest: a coffee on a terrace is part of the visit. - Your luggage can stay in our storage room before check-in or after check-out. **From the hotel.** Reception is open 24 hours a day for any question.
