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!



We are staying at Park Hyatt Vendomme (points, NOT MONEY!)

as for ville franche sur mer, you are on the cote d%26#39;azure, within easy reach of nice, monaco, cannes and any of the other seaside towns that could easily take a day off your hands.

Sounds like a great trip. You%26#39;ve divided your days pretty much by neighborhood, so that%26#39;s good. When you go to see the Arc de Triomphe, take the Metro to Charles de Gaulle Etoile and you%26#39;ll come up right at the Arc. That%26#39;s when it makes sense to walk down the Champs Elysees since you%26#39;re right there. You%26#39;ve got the major sights covered...My suggestion would be that you find some time in your itinerary to mix in some walks through neighborhoods and at least one street market. That should be easy to do. Just read up on some walking tours in areas where you%26#39;ll already be. I don%26#39;t know about Chez Papa, but I%26#39;ve travelled to Paris with my teenagers (who brought along friends) and they always find plenty of fun places to eat and hang out.

As for Villefranche, You could spend a day in Nice, a day in Monaco, a day in Eze, and maybe visit Saint Tropez (distance). That would probably be enough, unless you want to spend a day or so lounging at the smooth- pebble beach. The Hotel Welcome in Villefranche Sur Mer is nice and is 12-15 meters from the harbour.
