Logistics Tips

"A very ambitious and tightly packed 48-hour itinerary covering key Parisian landmarks and Montmartre, with minimal buffer time for enjoyment or unforeseen delays."

Pro Tip: For efficient travel across Paris, consider purchasing a Navigo Découverte pass if staying for a full week, or individual 'carnet' tickets or using contactless payment directly on Metro/bus if your stay is shorter. Familiarise yourself with the Metro map for seamless navigation.
