4 Days in Paris, a Week in Ville Franche sur Mer

I have a group that has agreed to split up, sleep in, etc. but that is composed mostly of teens (4) and three adults- opinions on our itinerary:



Sunday/Day one: - most arriving from London and New York - Arc de Triomphe, Sacre Couer, Montmartre (eating and looking), Monday: Notre Dame, Ste. Chapelle, Catacombs, Latin Quarter (clubs for teens?) and Conciergerie (if open), Tuesday:Versailles and hang out, Wed:



Eiffel Tower/Seine River (place to eat?), Louvre,Champs Elysees (not nec. in that order)? Also, Chez Papa as a good restaurant for teens? Any suggestions?



Thank you!

If this is a first visit, I%26#39;d suggest skipping the catacombs. They%26#39;re a bit far out from the center of Paris and take a fair amount of time to walk through and climb back up all the twisting stairs. The location doesn%26#39;t really fit with the rest of your Day One activities.

The teens would like the catacombs though. Took my daughters there last summer. Also took them to Pere LaChaise to see Jim Morrison%26#39;s grave. I felt like these sites would be a good memory and talking point for them for years to come. Via Metro, every where is almost equidistant from your hotel.

I agree teens do like the catacombes and conciergerie. Also a boat trip normally goes down well. It gives the legs a rest.

My two teenage daughters liked:



* Picknicing on the Champs du Mars in the evening and watching it light up and twinkle



* Street entertainment in the evening in the Latin Quarter (also the gyros at the Greek places there)



* Shopping at Promod (very reasonably priced)on the Champs Elysees



* Climbing the Eiffel Tower



* Nutella crepes!
