TIPS WHILE MAKING A PARIS ITINERARY

1. Museum Pass: Consider getting one of these and plan your schedule around it. Remember,

the Museum Pass is to be used on consecutive days from the first time you use it.

2. Holidays (it’s best to also check on the site directly for additional information and other

National holidays when they might be shut):

Musée du Louvre: Free first Sunday of the month, open every day except Tuesdays

Page 12: Summer Honeymoon in Paris Itinerary August 17th to 30th

Musée de l’Orangerie: Open every day except Tuesdays

Musée d’Orsay: Open every day except Mondays (open late until 9.45 pm on

Thursdays)

Musée Rodin: Under renovation until April 2012

Musée Cluny: Free first Sunday of the month, open every day except Tuesdays

Catacombes de Paris: Open every day except Mondays

Musée Marmottan: Open every day except Mondays

Centre Pompidou: Open every day except Tuesdays

3. Leave a day free. There’s lots that can happen to change your schedule. You can skip a

crowded museum and push it to the free day. A fantastic lunch might just spill into something

you’ve planned. And don’t be worried about what you’re going to do on that free day if

everything goes as per plan. A free day is the best thing to have in Paris!

4. DO NOT FILL YOUR ITINERARY. This is true for any destination you’re going to and

more so for Paris. Walk around without a plan, spend an hour on a park bench watching

Parisians, watch shadows change sitting outside a café.

5. Get lost. Some of the nicest things we discovered during our trip was because we got lost.

And don’t worry if you do get lost. A Metro Station is never too far away and contrary to

everything you might have heard, Parisians are really helpful (as long as you’re polite and

pleasant yourself!).

6. You cannot see everything there is to see. Paris is best enjoyed slow, without dashing madly

between museums, and posing for pictures at monuments without actually stopping to

experience them.

7. We suggest that you connect with the apartment Concierge for local Metro, Train or Cab

Services. If you wish to have a meet and greet at the airport we still have time to arrange this.
