Answer 1

It will be difficult, because you need one day to go to Versailles and one day for Eurodisney.

I would say you need 4 days for all these things.

On my blog I've done a program in 2 days, but without Versailles and Eurodisney.

If you want absolutely to do all in 3 days, here is a program....if you are able to wake up early and finish late ;)

Day 1 :

In the morning, you go to Versailles and you come back in Paris center at about 5 pm.

Then you go to Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysées and you walk until Concorde. It will be about 8 pm.

And then you can try to do a cruise at night. You will see buildings lightened.

And dinner at about 10 pm, unless you pay more and you eat on the boat.

Day 2 :

Sacré Coeur  on morning

Notre Dame on the afternoon

....and bonus for courageous people : museum Orsay in the evening.

Day 3 :

Eurodisney

No problem with good shoes and good legs ;)

Answer 2

You possibly could. Would you enjoy fitting them all into three days? Possibly not.

Logistically I would start at the Arc de Triumph walk down the Champs Elysses to the Place de la Concorde, get on the metro or continue walking to the Louvre and spend the rest of the day there. That night go to Sacre au Coeur. It has a great night view of Paris.

The next day you could definitely fit in a cruise on the Seine, Notre Dame, Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower.

Here comes the tricky part. Public transportation in and around Paris is great, but it isn't always as quick as you might think. Buying tickets, making connections between Metro and RER stations and walking around the city can eat up a considerable amount of time.

Heading out to Versailles is almost an entire day in itself, if you want to do it justice. You should tour the Chateau and its gardens. Also, take the time to head over to the country village that Marie Antoinette had built on the grounds. Fitting both Versaille and Euro Disney in would be hard. You might have to choose between the two.

Either way you'll have to cover a lot of ground to fit most of these sights in. I hope it isn't at the expense of your enjoyment and appreciation for all Paris has to offer. Enjoy and bon voyage.

Answer 3

I was actually just in France last June. I was there for 9 days, and we still didnt have enough time for all that. Limit yourself to one or two activities a day, or you'll feel overwhelmed and rushed.

Make a list on what you want to do most, such as the Eiffel Tower or Louvre.

just to let you know too, the louvre can take a couple hours just to get in, and once inside, you'll probably want to stay for hours on end.

the eiffel tower for me was about a 30 minute wait to get on the elevator, and then there was even more waiting upstaris.

So again, have a limit or a top 5 list.

Overall, France and Paris has so much history, great foods, and fantastic landmarks, that one just cant see it all in 3 days.

Hoped this helps!!

Answer 4

You could if you rushed.  

Skip Euro Disney.  You can go to an amusement park anywhere in the world.  But there is only one Paris.

You'll need a full day for just Versailles.  Spend the other 2 days just seeing the sites in Paris.

Answer 5

You could do all those things, but Versailles and Euro Disney are outside Paris so they pretty much require a daytrip each and that would limit you to just one day in Paris...

Plenty enough to do in Paris, although Versailles is a great town with a great palace. It's up to you.

Answer 6

Two years ago, I was in Paris for three days.  I did all of what you listed except Versailles (closed due to strike), euro-disney and the cruise  Instead of Versailles, I went to Reims. I did other stuff instead of the cruise, but I honestly do not think you can fit Euro-disney into 3 days.
