Would you spend 5 days in Paris or 4 days in Paris and 1 in Brussels?

I have been to both these cities before on a very rushed tour. I am heading back to Paris in April and I plan on visiting the louvre, Museam d"orsay, Versailles and maybe Giverny. I have five days in which to cover this ground. I four days enough to see these sites? If so, I am thinking of spending the last day in Brussels. What advise can fodorites give?

PS I have been to Brugges and I was not thinking of going back there when I am in Brussels.

Hi G,

We have been to Paris many, many times over the last 25 years.

We have not yet been bored by visits of 7 days.

If you have a particular reason for going to Brussels, go.

If you want to add Brussels, I think you've split the time correctly.

I don't go to Paris just to visit the sights. I may take in a museum or two but I go there to enjoy life. I love the cafes, the food, the stores, the parks. Five days is just not long enough for me.
