Start with the garden, then galleries and courtyard. This is not a palace tour with every interior open.
The manager sets access and hours. A closed door or event can change a crossing; check before relying on a shortcut.
Combine with BnF Richelieu or Fondation Cartier, keeping the free walk separate from a cultural visit.
BnF Richelieu — 2nd · 2 h
Fondation Cartier at Palais-Royal — 1st · 1 h 30 to 2 h
Louvre Museum — 1st · 3 h
Linked visits are alternatives or continuations, not a claim that all are adjacent.
Look at the contrasts between the garden, arcades and courtyard rather than expecting unrestricted entry to the institutions within the estate.
