What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads small-group exploration of two characterful quartiers, pointing out the backstreet charm and architecture locals notice. You'll take the metro and a taxi to manage the spread of sights. At the Louvre, you'll navigate independently with an audioguide—expect queues and crowds, especially mid-morning. Sainte-Chapelle's stained glass is equally self-guided; go slowly to absorb the detail. Lunch at a handpicked local bistro breaks the day comfortably. You'll stroll past major churches and universities rather than enter most of them. Pace is moderate; plenty of stopping and looking, not rushed.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for sustained walking. Children under 18 and EU residents under 26 get free Louvre entry with ID. The Louvre audioguide helps, but downloading a map beforehand saves time. Lunch and café stops are optional ('Full Option')—confirm what's bundled before booking. Metro cards are cheap and work across the tour.
