Things to do in Paris

Paris, one reserved slot at a time

Paris rewards a plan. The Louvre closes on Tuesdays, Orsay and Versailles on Mondays, the Orangerie on Tuesdays, and the big rooms fill by mid-morning. Our tickets come with a reserved time slot wherever the venue uses one, plus an audio guide, so there's no ticket-office queue and you still get the story behind what you're looking at. Mix the museums with time outdoors. Climb the 284 steps of the Arc de Triomphe, eat a falafel pitta on Rue des Rosiers, ride the lift to the Eiffel Tower's second floor, or watch the bridges pass overhead on an hour-long Seine cruise. Security checks apply almost everywhere, so travel light and arrive 15 minutes early.
