8 Day Itinerary in Paris
 

Hello,

Ok, so I finally have my flights and apartment booked for my Paris trip from June 4 - June 12. I need help with an itinerary now. I have an idea of what I want to do and see when I am there, but I have no idea how to actually plan it out.

So I arrive at the ORLY airport at 8:35 am, and then I need to get to this apartment as cheaply as possible: http://pierre.nguyen1.free.fr/elysees/

Throughout the 8 days I want to see the Louvre (going to go on Sunday because it is free), Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, Luxembourg Gardens, Jardins des Tuileries, Versailles, Eurodisney, Sacre Coeur, Galeries Lafayette, Latin quarter, Marais and cruise the Seine (tickets are already booked).

So... Does anybody have any ideas of how I should structure this as part of my trip?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Yes. Get a detailed map of Paris and identify and mark all the places you want to visit. Then group them by proximity. Figure out how much time you're likely to spend at each. Get métro and bus maps too (www.ratp.fr) and learn your way around on public transportation, noting which places you'll want to get to on foot and which by métro or bus. Plan each day accordingly - along with plenty of time in between for stops at cafés, a picnic lunch, people watching, shopping, or whatever.

If this is your first trip make sure you take time just to take in the city and enjoy it.
I suggest 2 scheduled activities/day. Then find a local cafe' or just explore
a neigborhood. If this is your first trip, you
will be back...

No I have been there before. This is my girlfriends first time though.

You have chosen the best sites for her first trip.
I would add St. Chapelle if you have time.
The Picasso Musuem is closed.

We were in Paris two weeks ago. One of the surprise treats was a string concert in the Sainte Chapelle. It was part of a series so it may still be happening when you visit. We decided to get tickets early in the day but the ticket office is inside the Conciergerie so we had to wait wait on line to get through security. It probably would have been better to show up an hour or so before the concert and get the tickets then. The Palace of Justice is closed so you go in another entrance with no line and they sell tickets inside.

P.S. Posters for the concert series were all around the Ile de la Cite area, left and right banks.
