3 Day Paris Trip
 

I am planning to end my Switzerland trip at Paris, will be spending last 3 days in Paris as below

Day 1 Arrive from zurich to MARNE LA VALLEE CHES via TGV at 19:00, stay at a disney resort

Day 2 Full day Disney park (is possible to cover any other places after the park)

Day 3 Half day @ Disney studio, plz suggest on the rest 1/2 day visit in Paris,

As i am traveling with my 6yr child, i am not interested in museums or other historical places. definitely planning to visit the Eiffel Tower, if possible a lake trip around the city.
I am really confused as i am having very little time in such a lovely city, Please suggest accordingly.... Are there any conducted city tours available from MARNE LA VALLEE CHES area.

Day 4 Back to Airport for the 4 pm flight.

I understand that you are with your young child and I assume have promised a Disney trip. There is so much for children in Paris it's a shame you won't have more time there. The carousels are everywhere. Many of the parks have activities for children. You will see the ponies with children in most of them. The Seine boat rides, the Eiffel Tower (as you mentioned) but all of these things would take more than 1/2 a day. Is it possible to convince your child that Paris has more to offer than Disney?

Your title is very misleading as you will only have 1/2 day in Paris, not 3 days.

The Eiffel Tower will take the entire half day you have. You can take the train into Paris from that Disney place. Your hotel will tell you how to do this or perhaps someone else on this board knows how to get from Disney to Paris.

I have no idea what a lake trip around the city means. Do you mean Paris? It's not surrounded by a lake so it's not possible to take a lake trip around it. Perhaps you mean you want to take a boat on the river? That is possible but the river goes through Paris, not around it.

You won't be able to do a conducted tour, the Eiffel Tower, and a Seine cruise in only a half day. You can do the Eiffel Tower in the afternoon and a Seine cruise in the evening.

So...in a half day you have to get into Paris, visit the Eiffel Tower (2 to 3 hours), and then take a boat ride. There are boat cruises that leave from near the Eiffel Tower. The boat rides are 1 hour. Make sure you know when the last train back to Disney leaves Paris.

Sounds like u will only have time to hop

the on/off tour bus hit the high spots

Have a look at Parisvision and Cityrama to do a coach tour of the city. They both depart from Central Paris

The RER Line A train goes from Disney into central Paris, this would be the best way to get into the city. Could get off at Chatelet station, then take metro over to Louvre area (for coach tour), or Trocadero (if going to Eiffel tower, great views from this side of river)

Going into the city, seeing and going up the Eiffel tower would use up a big chunk of your day. Could do a Seine river cruise after that.

You have less than a full day in Paris and the Tour Eiffel will take up all of that.

There is no lake in Paris, unless you're referring to the small one in the Bois de Boulogne, which would be a really odd place to take a child when you have virtually no time in Paris at all.

I highly doubt there are any city tours that originate in Marne-la-Vallée. You'd need to take the train into Paris for a tour, and if you did a tour, you'd have to forgo the Tour Eiffel.

Frankly, given that you've allotted virtually no time at all to Paris, I'd just stay at Disney and go to the airport. Or give up Disney and actually visit Paris.

If you are staying at a DIsney resort hotel, it is possible they have Paris city tours that will collect passengers at Disney, wouldn't surprise me. But you'd have to ask your hotel that question, they are the ones that would know.

Otherwise, you can take the trip in to see the Eiffel Tower and that's about it. IF you mean river cruise instead of lake tour, you could probably do that, also, as there is one company that has boats that dock near the Eiffel Tower, so that might be a good idea.

Another cruise company in vicinity of Eiffel

Parisvision has a coach tour + Eiffel + Seine cruise leaving at 14:45

I know this is none of y business but I can;t imagine what you will be doing at Disney all that time - even with a 6 year old.

IMHO Paris has so much more to see and do - yes, for a 6 year old as well as an adult - I would spend the frist day with a quick Disney tour and then hed to paris to see the real thing.

Besides te Eiffel Tower and a Seine cruise (I've never noticed a lake in paris) there is a wonderful children;s museum, Luxembourg gardens, puppet shows a host of other activties for kids.

Try to spend a least one full day in Paris. This forum has lots of ideas of things to do with children. Use the search function at the top of the page and search for something like "Paris with children".

It is a shame to go all of that way to spend a lot of time at a Disney park. Many who post on this forum indicate that one day is plenty to see the park.

The Bateaux Mouches are at Pont d'Alma on the right bank, not near the Eiffel Tower.
