paris

We are going to Paris for 4 days next month. Any suggestions on must do.

We plan on going to the Eifel tower and a boat ride along the river, but not sure what else yet?

TIA

Re: paris

4 days isn't a lot of time but enough to see the highlights! There is so much to see and do in Paris you can stay for weeks and not see everything!!

In addition to what you posted - I would try to see at least some of the below:
Louvre
Sainte-Chapelle (gorgeous stain glass)
Notre Dame
Arc d'Triumphe
Musee D'Orsay
Monmartre to walk around
There are also some nice gardens depending on the time of year you are going.

If you get time Verseilles is always amazing - but that is more of a day trip and with only 4 days in Paris you probably don't want to do that.

Etd to add - just watch your wallets etc - I know several people (my parents included who lived in NYC for many years before I was born) who were pickpocketed in Paris - so just be aware in more crowded places or if you take the subway

Re: paris

I agree with all of the above, especially Sainte-Chappele. If you go to Notre Dame and are up for it, I highly recommend walking the steps to at least where the gargoyles are, if you are really up for it, walk up to the belltower. Amazing, amazing views of the city from up there.
