Arriving around 5 PM is great; you can settle in without it being too late. Dinner in Le Marais sounds perfect. It’s such a vibrant neighborhood with amazing eateries—especially for a nice French meal to kick off your trip!

Day 2: Eiffel Tower & Latin Quarter (5/26)

Start your day early for those pastries! Nothing beats fresh croissants or pain au chocolat while sitting in front of the Eiffel Tower. The early morning light is magical too!

Ton Quartier latin walking tour sounds fantastic—the vibe there is rich and full of history, which your boyfriend will appreciate. After the Pantheon, jumping on that Seine River sunset cruise is an awesome way to relax after a day of walking. Just remember to grab a seat outside if you can!

Day 3: A Historic Adventure (5/27)

Okay, this day has a lot packed in, but don’t stress too much about the travel times. Paris’ metro system is efficient even if it can feel a little crowded at times. Exploring Le Marais in the morning gives you a chance to soak in the atmosphere before heading to Napoleon’s Tomb.

After visiting notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle looks stunning—make sure you take some time to appreciate its breathtaking stained glass. If you’re lucky, they may even have some pop-up concerts! Berthillon is a must for ice cream, and the Ile Saint-Louis is a perfect place to relax a bit.

Exploring Montmartre

Montmartre is definitely a highlight! The cobbled streets, the art, and the views are enchanting. If you have extra time, consider checking out the little shops or cafes. Maybe grab a coffee at a classic Parisian café and people-watch.

Day 4: Last-Minute Fun (5/28) 

Marché des Enfants Rouges is in the heart of the historic Haut Marais neighborhood

With a flight at 5 PM, hitting up Marche des Enfants Rouges is an excellent idea for last-minute shopping and lunch. It’s one of the oldest covered markets in Paris and a perfect spot for picking up some tasty treats to take home, plus some souvenirs.
