Two and a half days in Paris after 19 hours flight. Help?

Question

I know it sounds crazy. I have two stopovers then I'm only spending 2.5 days in Paris before joining a tour to travel around France.

Any help with how to survive the flight, and a itinerary for first time trip to Paris? Thanks.

Answer 1

For your first trip in Paris, I suggest you to go in Hotel de ville metro station. You will be in the center of Paris. The hotel de ville is a beautiful building and ou will be very close to the Seine river. Crossing the bridge you will be on the city island, the oldest part of Paris, where is located Notre Dame, la Sainte Chapelle and la conciergerie. Yo will be also close to Le louvres museum, and of Tuileries gardens. Crossing this garden and the concorde place you will arrive to Champs Elysees and Arc de triomphe.

Have a nice trip

Answer 2

In Paris, I would recommend:

- Sacre Coeur at Montmartre. Fantastic views, a pretty church and a lovely square full of cafes and artists.

- A boat trip on the Seine - a great way of seeing the city and some of its main sights.

For surviving the flight:

- take a good book

- try to stand up and walk around a bit if you can

- buy a good neck pillow to help you sleep

- avoid drinking or eating too much (especially alcohol)

- wear comfortable loose-fitting clothes

- have at least two things to wear on top in case you get hot/cold on the plane

Have a great trip!

Bring really good sound-proofing earplugs.

That way, if you get stuck with a screaming two-year-old who won´t sleep because she isn´t in her own bed, and is massively overtired, you won´t be so bothered by her as we were on our last transatlantic flight...Oh!  were we exhausted!
