The Best of Paris in a Week, Paris, France

Hello everyone! Welcome to another day of adventuring in the City of Lights! If you’re following the Best of Paris in a Week mini-series, this is day 5 of exploration.

As you can see in the suggested schedule above, today offers a variety of activities and an extremely flexible schedule. If you love art, you can spend an entire day (and then some) exploring the Louvre. If not, it’s a great time to do some shopping that’s not limited to souvenir shops. The evening’s finale is my personal favorite part: a breathtaking view of Paris at night!

Whether or not you know a lot about art, the Louvre is a must-see for your trip. As the world’s largest museum, it is unparalleled in both its collection and architecture. The gorgeous array of artwork and historical artifacts cover history from many cultures all the way back to ancient civilizations!

Oh, and if you happen to have one of those handy Museum Passes I keep talking about, you can get in for no additional charge! (Learn more in How to Vacation in Paris on a Budget.) ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
