| Choose your programme | Plan a short loop with somewhere to pause rather than insisting on a full circuit. | Choose one area and one cultural venue to avoid spreading your day too widely. | Choose between a concert, an exhibition and a collections visit. |
| Constraint to anticipate | Check works and open paths on the official page. Routes drawn on a map may be unavailable. | The outdoor walk, an exhibition and a performance have different entry arrangements. | Confirm the entrance, time and ticket for your specific event; the building's name alone is insufficient. |
| Continue the day | Canal Saint-Martin offers a different walking landscape after a journey. | Cité des sciences provides an indoor visit instead of a long walk. | Parc de la Villette offers a break before or after the event. |

Start with the area: two attractions in different districts require a journey beyond the visit times shown here. Choose the content that interests you, then check opening hours, tickets and the entrance. A low budget category does not establish free admission to every exhibition or activity.
This table does not rank quality, popularity or accessibility. For specific access needs, confirm the full route from transport and the attraction’s entrance. Open each English attraction page for preparation notes and links to related walks.
