Day 1

On day 1, Start your day by visiting the iconic Eiffel Tower, you can buy tickets on the spot or book them before your arrival. You can take the elevator to 1-2 floors from where you can enjoy the view and get food or snacks. You can learn the history of the tower over here.

Start your day with breakfast at a bakery for the authentic French breakfast. Then visit the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre). Enjoy the courtyard and gardens and then inside, see the Mona Lisa, an iconic piece, and other art pieces. Explore their painting gallery, Egyptian antiquities, and sculptures. The museum is huge so make sure you have your most comfortable shoes on so they don't hurt your feet.

Visit the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Sainte-Chapelle, their gothic architecture and stunning stained glass windows are just picture-perfect when you are there light a candle or say a prayer. There is the Palace of Justice nearby, which is a great place to visit too. This place has sentimental values so dress appropriately when you are visiting the place.

End your day at Latin Quarter, as the place has a very different vibe at night time with all the restaurants and lights.
