2 days in paris

I am going to visit my daughter who is attending school in London in November. We plan to go to Paris by Eurostar leaving early in the morning and coming home in the evening the next day .Does anyone have any suggestions for an itinerary or would a guide for a day be best?

A guide certainly could be helpful, but is not necessary. To get some ideas, do a search on this forum (in the box under the green bar at the top of the list of topics), for 2 or 3 day itineraries, which will give you the advantage of seeing many different people%26#39;s thoughts (and also the considerations behind the different suggestions). It probably will help if you get a guidebook and pick out 3 or 4 %26quot;must see%26quot; places in central Paris, and then build other things around that. You can walk (or take a five or ten minute Metro ride) to almost any place you would want to see in central Paris.

Most Paris travel guide books will also have a suggested one-day or two-day itinerary.

I%26#39;ve never used a guide so I can%26#39;t comment on that experience. But here is what I would do:

1. Ride %26quot;hop-on, hop-off%26quot; bus. Paris L%26#39;Open is a good one.

2. Climb to top of Arc du Triomphe. Great view of Eiffel Tower

3. Musee D%26#39;Orsay or Louvre, depending on your tatses. IMHO, it%26#39;s hard to pass up a chance to see the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, so I%26#39;d opt for the Louvre.

4. Sunset river cruise on the Seine. Pick up one of the boats near the Eiffel Tower.

5. Notre Dame.

Of course, you can do more if you are ambitious/masochistic.
