Because Paris is so popular and has such major attractions you can spend a lot of time standing in queues. There are ways to get around this and I think it's worth paying extra. So book yourself in for a skip the line Versailles tour. You can pick anything from an all day VIP tour with transport to a skip the line ticket with a 90 minute guided tour. It takes 45 minutes to get there and if you are making your own way you will need to use the RER-C Line. Before you head off or get picked up have some breakfast at one of these local bakeries. They should keep you going during your time here.
-
Some tours include lunch otherwise there are a few options available. There are five restaurants at Versailles of differing standards and prices.
-
Make your way back to Marin D'Eau Douce at Bassin de la Villette. Pick up a few supplies along the way for a waterside picnic dinner. You can also pre-order hampers and champagne etc. Hire a boat for 2,3,4 hours and have your own DIY cruise in your very own electric boat. No license or skills required. They are open until 10pm so you'll be able to watch the sun go down and the lights come on. The fresh air and space will be pleasant after the crowds at Versailles.
-
When you've had enough time on the water you can do a little DIY bar crawl in the hip new area along the Canal St Martin heading south and finishing up at the Bastille with some of Paris's best bars and nightlife. You could also head down Rue Oberkampf on the way through. The Metro runs until 1.15 am on weekdays and 2.15am on weekends.

Put on your walking shoes and get an early start today (like 7.30 am). Firstly have breakfast at the oldest patisserie in Paris - Stroher since 1730. It's a half hour walk from the hotel you're off to the Louvre Museum. The most famous museum in the world. Try to avoid weekends. Wednesday and Friday have late closings which can also be less crowded. Get your skip the queue ticket and try to get down there around 8.30am. You could also take a guided tour which includes the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.
-
Stroll through the Place de Concord on the way to the Champs-Elysees for some lunch. Have a wander about, do some shopping and make your way down to the Arc de Triomphe. Head up for the rooftop views with your skip the queue, rooftop access tickets.
-
Next stop is the big one. They don't have skip the queue tickets for the Eiffel Tower but buying an E-ticket on line 2 months before will save you a lot of time. There are a couple of other tricks like booking a meal here and taking the steps. This guide should help you work out how much you want to spend.
-
By now it must be time for cocktails. Why not have them in the famous bar that they were invented. Like a Bloody Mary, White Lady, James Bond, Blue Lagoon, Side Car and others. All at Harry's New York Bar which was dismantled and shipped over from 7th Avenue Manhattan and reassembled here in 1910. Jump on the nearby Metro or grab a cab. If you're a Hemmingway fan have a quick drink at the Hemmingway Bar at the Ritz Hotel on the way through. He personally liberated the hotel from the Nazis when the Americans marched in to Paris during WWII. Pop in and have a look at the famous Ritz Hotel anyway.
-
Head down to Saint-Germain-des-Pres for the rest of the night. From here you can make your way through Odeon and then to the Latin Quarter. When you get hungry there are plenty of places to get a meal and there are lots of cheap bars around.
-
If you have any money left, shout yourself a nice breakfast / brunch before you head out to the airport. Linger over a coffee and enjoy just being in Paris. If you want to linger longer or see more of the country, have a look below and in France where there are two more trips.

This was the hometown of the famous French chef Paul Bocuse. Not to mention being the food capital of the world (claimed by the original Michelin food critic named Curnonsky back in 1935).

Hop on the train back to Paris. You will have a couple of options from Gare de Lyon depending on what hotel you use. Just work it out with google maps, you should be pretty good at navigating the Metro by now. You have a new arrondissement this time, it will be #14 which contains most of Montparnasse. This area was popular with writers like Oscar Wild, Jean-Paul Sartre, Hemmingway, James Joyce, F Scott Fitzgerald and Henry Miller as well as poets and artists like Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. A lot of their old hangouts are still around. Fortunately these days it's not overly popular with tourists.
-
Stay at or near Montparnasse Daguerre *** - Excellent location near a pedestrian street with cafes, restaurants, bars and markets, 350m from the Metro Station which runs directly to CDG Airport, the Latin Quarter, café, 24 hour desk
-
Or Timhotel Tour Montparnasse *** - great location with lots of restaurants, bars and Metro access on your doorstep, 24 hour desk
-
Or Arcadie Montparnasse *** - great location near restaurants, bars, next to Gaite Metro Station and 150m from Montparnasse Station, 24 hour desk
-
It should be around lunch time by the time you've checked in so time to check out your new neighbourhood. Put on your walking shoes and head to the Montparnasse Tower which the locals believe gives better views than the other tower. Plus you can see that tower. It's open until 11.30pm so you may want to come here for sunset and see the City of Lights at night.
-
Time for lunch. Make your way around to one of the legendary Le Select, La Rotonde or La Closerie des Lilas one of Hemmingway's favourites.
-
Now to walk off a few calories. Make your way to the Catacombs of Paris. If you suffer from claustrophobia you should give it a miss. You could trade it with a walk through the Montparnasse Cemetery. Or find a nice outdoor cafe and sit down and have a drink

-
Back to the hotel to freshen up and get ready for a night out. Might as well stay local and drinks here are a lot cheaper than the centre of town. Plenty of life, live music and late closings. If you don't feel like going too far there is plenty of action down Rue de la Gaite, Rue Daguerre and all around. Or you could start out with a night at the theatre.

-
Start the day with a hearty breakfast to give you plenty of energy for your bicycle tour. Or have a hearty breakfast then get an e-bike😁. Rue de Montparnasse is famous for it's collection of authentic Breton creperies. Find one you like and dig in. Local institution La Creperie de Josselin and La Creperie Bretonne - Mere Fillioux are recommended. Wash it down with some mildly alcoholic apple cider.
-
If you are getting a normal bike there are three Velib' Stations (Bike sharing program) near the creperies. Just look on google maps. If you want an e-bike head over to the Latin Quarter which is on the way anyway.
