hi,
Since i have only 6 hours (from 15,00-21,00 on next Sunday),please advise what is the best quick itinerary.We will be arriving by train from Disneyland.
I definetely want a seine river cruise and a visit to Eiffel Tower.Also a visit to Arc de triomph and a stroll around Sans elysee and rue Cler for dinner.
Can I do all that in 6 hours?
many thanks in advance!!

It will be tight but you could start at the Arc de Triomphe (Metro Charles de Gaulle metro) walk down champs Elysees as far as metro Franklin D Roosevelt then jump on metro down to Lourve-Rivoli Stop. Short walk to Pont neuf and catch Seine Cruise %26quot;vedetees Pont Neuf%26quot;

Get ticket on-line or print discount voucher.
1 hour cruise (every half hour )
Go back to Lourve- Rivoli Metro and head back to Franklin D Roosevelt and change for Trocadero there you will have best view of Eiffel tower and you can walk towards it. Alothough you will not have time to go up. (even taking the stairs)
Rue Cler is nearish Eiffel tower but im sure you could do something else for dinner theres plenty of other options, and your tight for time!!

Thank you for your kind reply!
I will follow your advise.
Just one question is this river cruise better than the other one called Bateaux Parisiens?
Since Bateaux Parisiens departs near Eiffel Tower will it save more time?
any suggestions for a reasonably priced resteurant near Eiffel Tower?
Thanks again
Take care!!

Ive only ever used the botabus which also stops a t he tower but im not sure of duration, but it maybe be a better option for you.

There are a couple of boat cruise companies that start from right under the Eifel Tower. These are the best, i feel, because it starts and ends at the tower. These cruises cost between 9-11 euros for a simple cruise (non lunch/dinner)
I dont think you may have enough time to get up on the tower because the lines to buy the ticket are pretty long. check out the lines at wikimapia or google earth

The Batobus is a hop on hop off boat that goes to one end of the Seine turns around - back and forth. It stops at eight sightseeing destinations. One being the Eiffel. Review their web site for specifics. It also stops at the Arc.

What to do with your luggage duing your touring about ?? After touring about the city, will you be departing from Paris to CDG ??...If from CDG, what is your planned mode of airport transfer ??...Taxi?..Les Cars Air France Coach??...RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne??...or from a SNCF/TGV train station ??...How many in your traveling party(we)??...How much luggage??...any physical mobility issues??

I would seriously consider skipping the Seine cruise, if you only have 6 hours. See a few sights, relax at a Cafe with a glass of wine and people watch, just enjoy being in the city!

I have to respectfully agree with the last post - I think that you%26#39;d be better off skipping the boat tour. I have done a boat tour before and the whole time all I could think as we were passing by the beautiful sights was: I wish I could stop and take a picture next to that! Since you only have 6 hours, my opinion is that you%26#39;d be wiser to see the city on foot or by bus (#69, for example, will take from the Eiffel Tower, past the Tuileries and the Louvre - along the Seine - and all the way to the Bastille. By walking or busing you will still get a unique view of the city, plus you can actually experience the pulse of the city and admire the beautiful sights and architecture up close.
Perhaps you might want to think about seeing the city from above?? I couldn%26#39;t tell from your post if you%26#39;re planning on climbing both the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. The Eiffel Tower usually has ridiculously long lines, but the Arc de Triomphe has great views and isn%26#39;t too much of a hike up.

Hi,
It%26#39;ll take you about one hour to go to Paris from Disneyland.
You should forget the rue Cler, which is not very interesting for dinner. If you consider coming back in Paris, it%26#39;s much better going there before noon, while shops and market are busy.
l%26#39;Arc de Triomphe is much easyer than the Tour Eiffel and from the roof, you%26#39;ll see all the Champs-Elysées, la Concorde, les Tuileries and much more.
It%26#39;s not too hight so you recognized the nice buildings. Stairway only !
Don%26#39;t walk thru the Champs-Elysées, it%26#39;s over crowded and quite long. More than 1 km.
If you want a typical street like the rue Cler, you should go to the rue Poncelet 5 mn away from l%26#39;Arc de Triomphe : av. de Wagram, avenue Niel, after the Fnac Corner (very Nice building), first street on your right.
Cruising the Seine is very long. Don%26#39;t forget Montmartre, it%26#39;s beautiful and a good spot to see the city like in Ratatouille movie...

Nota : sorry for the approximate english...

rue Cler for dinner.
Forget this on a Sunday especially.
In 6 hours you have time to go to Seine and take a cruise or a walk.
Look at Pont des Arts. Louvre from outside and have a drink at a cafe.
Next week end is journees du patrimoine. Will be busy in town!
