Paris in One Day

Are you going on a one day trip to Paris? Then you'll probably want to make sure you don't miss any of the highlights of the City of Light. This one day itinerary includes the main Paris sights and attractions and offers some tips on how to make the most of Paris in just one day.

Once in Paris, start off your one day trip at the Notre Dame Cathedral. Then visit the 13th-century Gothic Holy Chapel and admire its stained glass windows. Cross the New Bridge on your way to the Louvre - walking along the Seine river, you soon end up in front of the imposing museum. Take a while to adore its greatness and then go inside. Try to decide which exhibitions interest you the most - it is not worth attempting to see everything in Louvre as the complex is really huge.

Stroll the Tuileries Garden named after tile factories, which used to stand here until the end of the 16th century. Then cross the Art Nouveau bridge named after Alexandre III and make your way to the Eiffel Tower. Take a while to admire Paris from above and then head to Trocadero Gardens. Get one last look at the majestic structure from the Chaillot Palace and end your day at the Triumphal Arch.
