How many days do you need in Paris?
5 days is the right length for a first trip to Paris. That fits the Louvre, Montmartre and the Marais, a morning at the Musée d'Orsay and long evenings by the Seine. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Versailles or Giverny.
