8 hours in Paris?

Question

I have an 8 hours layover in Paris one Saturday in late March, any suggestions as to what to do?

I would love suggestions on anything, this will be my first time there.

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

If that is a layover at CDG airport then you won't have much time given that you must get into the city and then back to the airport two hours prior to your flight departing. At best that leaves you maybe four hours in Paris.

If that's the case then I suggest taking the RER B (the commuter rail service) from the airport to the Saint Michel stop. When you exit the station   you will be on the Left Bank and you'll see Notre Dame on the Isle de la Cite with the Seine in between you. Cross the bridge that will be right in front of you and check it out. Entrance is free as its a working church. When you've finished with the interior walk outside then around the church to the rear on the side of the church next to the river. when you get to the back, cross the little street there and thru the little park area to view the monument to the deportees. When you've seen that recross the river of the first bridge behind the church and stroll along the Quai (street running parallel to the river) back to the entrance to RER station. Have a cafe or a glass of wine at any of the cafe's you'll see and do some people watching until its time to return to the airport.

Paris is big, so going from CDG to the city would take you some time. The best thing a would recommend is going straight ahead to Sacre Coeur. CLose to Gare du Nord, u can walk around, see the church, and from there, you have an spectacular sight of Paris. Then you wlk around montmartre, and try to have lunch there. Then walk to the moulin Rouge and around.

Staying for lees than 8 hours there, i think is the best place, to help you capture a great esence of Paris in one place, in a short time. Enjoy!

Is it because you are a flight attendantttt?  I would go out and eat, and go to the eiffel tower or a few hours river boat cruise or something.  Orrrrr find an amusment park if you like those. but idk maybe sight see
