2. Lunch on the Left Bank

   Head towards Saint-Germain-des-Prés and choose a table on a side street.

3. Île de la Cité

   Walk past the quays and Notre-Dame; include Sainte-Chapelle if you have arranged admission.

4. Quays at sunset

   Finish beside the Seine between Pont-Neuf and Pont des Arts.

Give priority to one major indoor visit, either at the Louvre or on Île de la Cité, to keep a real walk between stops. Tuileries and the quays work as flexible breaks.

With half a day, keep the Louvre as an exterior stop, cross the Seine and finish on Île de la Cité. Check admission separately for any monument you want to enter.
