Three days, three axes: Louvre, Left Bank (or Marais), Montmartre (or Champs). Swap one day for Versailles/Disney — never stack them at night.
Paris in 3 days
D1 Louvre + Tuileries (Orangerie is a fork); D2 Orsay or Pantheon + Luxembourg, or Vosges + one museum; D3 Abbesses uphill or one Champs stretch + one hall. Day-trips replace a full day. Follow official tickets.
Never Louvre + tower + Montmartre the same day. A Museum Pass saves queues — not multi-axis permission. One dinner room only.
Next stop
Walk or one Metro hop to the next place. Crossing districts is another day.
Walk · 8min
Louvre Museum → Tuileries Garden: Rivoli arcade walk (~8 min)
Next is Tuileries Garden on the Louvre axis — do not also stack Montmartre or the tower today.
Walk · 12min
Louvre Museum → Palais-Royal: Tuileries north-gate short walk (~12 min)
Link Louvre Museum to Palais-Royal then stop this stretch — leave Montmartre or the tower for another day.
