I'll have my wife and little sister in tow. It's my sister's first time in Europe so just want to give her the chance to see the big sights in Paris. Our plan looks like this:
1. Quick shower at Ibis
2. RER to Notre Dame
3. Walk to Eiffel tower(maybe Rodin museum, depending on how long we spend at Notre Dame)
4. I already have 2pm tickets for Eiffel tower
5. Then depending on time/how we feel. Head to Sacre Couer or walk along Seine/Tuileries.
6. Then head back to airport.
How is that for adventurous?
Take the bus tour, you get to do a drive by to most of the monuments.
Depending on the dates in March, you might have to stand in long lines. Yesterday friends visiting from London went to the Rodin and said the wait was over an hr, so they skipped.
