onelinkParis in 5 days: the bookable stuff, sorted
What to book ahead and what to just walk to. Book Louvre, Versailles, Sainte-Chapelle and the Opéra before you fly; slots sell out. Prompt to make your own: "Plan 5 days in Paris for a couple, mix of museums and evenings out, link the official booking pages, and save it to onelink."
Louvre Day 2. Book a timed slot online. Go for the first slot and head for the Denon wing before the crowds. https://www.louvre.fr/en
Château de Versailles Day 3, full day. Palace in the morning, gardens after lunch. Closed Mondays. https://en.chateauversailles.fr/
Musée d'Orsay Day 4. Impressionists on the top floor; the clock window is the photo everyone wants. https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en
Sainte-Chapelle Pick a sunny morning. The stained glass is the whole point. https://www.sainte-chapelle.fr/en
Atelier des Lumières Immersive digital art in an old foundry. A good rainy-afternoon plan. https://www.atelier-lumieres.com/en
Catacombs Tickets go on sale about a week ahead and vanish fast. https://www.catacombes.paris.fr/en
Sacré-Cœur, Montmartre Free. Walk up through Montmartre rather than taking the funicular. https://www.sacre-coeur-montmartre.com/en/homepage/
Arc de Triomphe rooftop Go just before sunset for the view down the Champs-Élysées. https://www.paris-arc-de-triomphe.fr/en
Musée Jacquemart-André A mansion-museum with a lovely tearoom. Quieter than the big ones. https://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/en
Musée Nissim de Camondo 18th-century interiors next to Parc Monceau. A hidden gem. https://madparis.fr/nissim-de-camondo-museum
Seine cruise: Bateaux Mouches Arrival evening. Take the last cruise to see the Eiffel Tower lit up. https://www.bateaux-mouches.fr/en
Palais Garnier / Opéra See a show, or just do the building tour by day. https://www.operadeparis.fr/en
Disneyland Paris Only if you have the day to spare; it eats a full one. Book tickets and the RER ride ahead. https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-gb/
