DAY PARIS ITINERARY – A JAM-PACKED LAYOVER

1

You can easily spend days or even weeks exploring the City of Light. However, if you're on a layover visit where you have 24 hours or less, this is the perfect 1 day Paris itinerary to help plan your trip.

With so many things to do in France, a 1 day Paris itinerary can be very handy especially if you'll be transiting to another part of the country or doing a flight layover.

Depending on where you are coming from, you will probably arrive into either of Paris’ airports Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris Orly (ORY), or one of its major RER (regional train) stations.

Arriving Into The City

To start your day in Paris, catch Métro line 4 to Saint-Michel Notre Dame. From here it is a short walk to the legendary Notre Dame Cathedral.

9:00am – Notre Dame Cathedral
