Spiraling out from the Seine River are the 20 arrondissements of Paris. This is where you will find Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle. Just to keep things interesting, there are also two islands that sit within the Seine River, Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis. This is where you will find the Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay, the Rodin Museum, and the Latin Quarter. The Left Bank (Rive Gauche) refers to the area of Paris that is south of the Seine River. This is where you will find the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre, the Marais, and Palais Garnier, just to name a few. The Right Bank (Rive Droite) refers to the area of Paris that is north of the Seine River. The main sites in Paris are clustered on either side of this river. The city center of Paris is bisected by the Seine River. The link to the official website is provided for each site. I recommend getting updated hours and pricing for your dates of travel. I do my best to keep the hours of operation and pricing up to date for each attraction, however, these can change at any time. I did my best to anticipate waiting times and visiting times, but on very busy days (or very quiet days) these times can differ. Your times may differ, based on queues and how much time you decide to spend at each place. The times listed in the daily schedule are rough estimates, just to give you an idea about timing throughout the day. We let you know how to do this in this itinerary. However, with some advance planning, you can book your tickets in advance, to avoid these long waits. Paris is one of Europe’s most visited cities and with that, lines can be long at the more popular attractions. Paris is one of our favorite cities in the world and we want to share with you everything we have learned during our visits. So far, we have visited Paris three times. We cover the top sights to visit, how to get around Paris, where to stay, and of course, how to plan your time. In this guide, learn how to plan a perfect two day visit to Paris.
