The classic mistake in Paris is trying to see everything in 3 days and ending up exhausted by the second. This itinerary assumes you’ll miss some things to prioritize a sustainable pace: a major museum or monument in the morning, then free time to walk through a different neighborhood each afternoon.
Day by day
D1
Right Bank
Louvre at opening (timed entry reservation mandatory) — focus on 2-3 wings rather than trying to see it all
Tuileries Garden and Place Vendôme on the way out
The Marais in the afternoon: Rue des Rosiers, Place des Vosges, art galleries
D2
Left Bank
Musée d'Orsay in the morning, fewer crowds than the Louvre for a more relaxed experience
Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Luxembourg Garden for lunch and leisurely wandering
Ascend the Eiffel Tower in the late afternoon, golden light before sunset
D3
Montmartre
Sacré-Cœur early in the morning, before the tour groups arrive
Montmartre's charming streets, Place du Tertre, Rue de l'Abreuvoir
Free afternoon — Canal Saint-Martin if you feel like experiencing a more local Paris
