Two Days in Paris (Not the Julie Deply movie)

So my boyfriend and I are going to Paris for two days as part of our London Trip.

I have been to Paris once, but for less than 24 hours, so all I really remember about it was that we ran through the Lourve and otherwise that I wanted to return.

We are staying in Le Marais at an AirBnB apartment there.

I was wondering if there were some suggestions for what we can do to make the best of our time there.

We are going the last weekend in May, arriving in the morning on Monday, leaving on the Wednesday morning.

BF really wants to try to get to Versailles, but I feel that that might be a little too ambitious.
I'm wondering if we do as much in Paris on Monday, and do either amorning or afternoon in Versailles on Tuesday, and then come back and catch up on things (namely museums) that may have been closed on Monday.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

David

I think that trying to fit in Versailles is too much to include.
As you know, there is so much to see and do in Paris alone. Since you'll be there in May, the weather will be lovely for strolling about. How about Notre Dame, Musee D'Orsay, Eiffel Tower, Monmartre,Pantheon and one or two of the gardens? Perhaps a boat ride on the Seine? With only two days,you might want to really enjoy Paris and do Versailles another time.

I agree, there is so much to do in Paris. I would not use up the better part of a day getting to Versailles and back.

Thanks for your response Calabria, I agree about Versailles, especially since most of the museums are closed on Monday. Musee D'orsay is definitely top of my list.

Catacombes was also something I was really interested in.

I am really looking forward to just walking around Paris!
