Paris in 3 days
Three days, three axes: Louvre, Left Bank (or Marais), Montmartre (or Champs). Swap one day for Versailles/Disney — never stack them at night.

First Paris
Learn one-axis days and tickets before stacking sights. Louvre ≠ tower ≠ Montmartre; Navigo rules follow the current official site.

Louvre day
Louvre and Tuileries only. Orangerie is a fork — not also Marais or the tower.

Museum Pass
The pass saves queues and repeat tickets — not multi-axis days. Book time slots first, then choose which day to activate.

Paris with kids
Plants, Champ de Mars lawn, Luxembourg chairs. Tower queues need patience.

Versailles day trip
Versailles is a full day-trip. The city is only origin/return — the palace is not an intramuros place, and the Louvre does not follow at night.

Disneyland Paris day
Disneyland Paris is a full Marne-la-Vallée day. RER out and back; the park is not an intramuros place — and not the Louvre the same day.
