Perfect Paris Tour

I think I have created the perfect Paris tour, please respond with your suggestions. Remember this is just a three day list with time for shopping, eating, and drinking. One church, one museum per day, more than that you will lose your head a la Marie-Antoinette. I haven't checked the transportation issues for this points, but will work on them next week.

Day One

Notre Dame - point zero of Paris, the perfect starting point

City bus tour, get your bearings, see the sights by day.

Louvre - see the Mona Lisa and pick a few other highlights

Eiffel Tower - go up but the best part of the skyline is missing. twilight is great.

Seine Boat Tour - see the city at night, and return to Eiffel to see the sparkles on the hour starting at 10 pm.

Day Two

Arc de Triomphe - please don't cross the street, use the tunnels

Champs-Elysees - shop, eat, drink

L'Orangerie - see Monet's famous waterlillies here and no where else.

Musee d'Orsay - get your fill of the Impressionists here - start on the top floor

St. Chapelle - small beautiful church

Picnic on the Seine - baguettes, some Brie, a few bottles of wine and a blanket

Day Three

Le Marais - see Place des Vosges, maybe the free Carnavalet museum, cool shops

Pere Lachaise - say your regards to Proust, Sarah Bernhardt and the Lizard King

Montmartre - twisty hilly streets, famous strip clubs, artist hangouts

Sacre Couer - wedding cake church at the top of Montmartre

Optional Day Four

Versailles - buy your tickets online AND go early

OR

Giverny - Monet's country home
