Getting in from the airport

Getting around
The metro covers everything. Use a Navigo Easy card or tap a contactless card at the gates.
Book ahead
Eiffel Tower summit, the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay all need timed tickets. Versailles too if you add it.
Where to stay as a group
Le Marais for a central base, Saint-Germain for classic Paris, Montmartre for cheaper rooms, Oberkampf for nightlife.
FAQ
Is 4 days enough for Paris?
Yes for a first trip. Add a fifth day for the Palace of Versailles — about 40 minutes away by RER C.
Is the Louvre worth it with a group?
Yes, but pick 3–4 must-sees and split up — it's huge.
How do we split costs as a group?
Most places in Paris take cards and contactless, and restaurants usually bring one bill for the whole table. Add this plan as a trip in Tripwith, invite your friends, and log who paid each meal or museum booking, and Tripwith works out who owes who.
