One to 10 days stays is the usual length of stay for tourists in Paris, with an average of between 3 and 5 days. That’s not much for what there is to see (around 2,200 points of interest), and an almost exhaustive visit would certainly take over a year. An “in-depth” visit to the Louvre alone would take about a month. So you have to choose, and that’s where the difficulties begin: how to make your selection so as to see the essential and typical things without tiring yourself too much.

“One to 10 days stays” consiste of “programmed” typical stays, each lasting 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days, and meeting various overriding criteria: monuments, museums, shopping, a mix of the two, etc., for singles, couples, families, etc.  These programs have been optimized to meet your needs. They are optimized to avoid your stay becoming a frantic race, but rather a balanced, not overloaded, schedule.
