Question

What to do in Paris for 4 days?

Answer 1

Day one - Getting Oriented - The origins

Go to the Parc de Vert Galant on the westernmost tip of Ile de la Cite and take a boat ride up and down the Seine. The river, Notre Dame and the Eiffel tower will be your points of reference in the next week. The river divides the city into Left(south) and Right (north) Banks. The Tower is in the west of the city and Notre Dame is in the center.

After your boat ride explore the Ile de la Cite. This little island in the river is where Paris began.

On it you will find Notre Dame and in front of the church the zero mile marker from which all distances in France are measured. The Conciergerie, a medieval castle was turned ito a prison during the revoultion and you can see where Marie Antoinette was held prisoner before her execution. Sainte Chapelle was built by King Louis IX in the 13th century to house the Crown of Thorns and other relics. The Pont Neuf (the "new" bridge) is actually the oldest bridge in Paris.

Day Two - The Early Days

The Latin Quarter. Wander thru the maze of little streets that were characteristic of the earliest days of Paris when this area got its name from the presence of so many students at the new University. Latin was language of the church and of scholars. See the Sorbonne, the Pantheon, the Cluny Museum with its collection of art from the ancient to the middle ages, and the Luxembourg Gardens build for Marie de Medici.

Day Three - Paris Triumphant

Start at the Arc de Triomphe built to celebrate the victories of the Emperor Napoleon I. Take the elevator to the top for the best view of the transformation of Paris done by Baron Hausman, city planner for Napoleon III. he created the Grand Boulevards, many of which radiate from this point. Walk to the Palais de Chaillot in the Trocadero across the river from the Eiffel Tower then cross, on foot to see it. Afterwards, walk to the Invalides, where Napoleon I and his son, the King of Rome are entombed. Then cross the river to the Louvre with its stunning collection. The Louvre needs no explanation It is one of great museums of art. . If "great art" becomes a bit tiring, find your way to the Museum of Decorative Arts (in the same complex) and view the hisotry of fashion and its magnificent collect of designer originals.

Day Four  The Modern Era

Start the day at the Musee D'orsay whose collection of Impressionists follows the more classic art in the Louvre. Then head to the north end of the city to Montmartre and see Sacre Coeur, the white confection of a cathedral built at the turn of the century. Wander thru the streets where Picasso used to hang out. In the Place de teatre you'll see his (considerably less talented) successors selling the worst art ever seen to gullible tourists. Wander down the hill to the Place Pigalle and to the Moulon Rouge, its the same place Toulouse Lautrec painted (but not the same quality of show that he saw..don't waste your money on the evening shows there).
