**Total walking time:** 29 minutes (5 + 10 + 2 + 10 + 2). The day finishes at 17:00 exactly at the Petit Palais (avenue Winston‑Churchill), from where you can easily grab a taxi or walk to the Champs‑Élysées–Clemenceau metro.

## Practical Tips

- **Tickets** – Book Louvre and Orangerie time‑slots at least a few days ahead; July can be very busy. The Petit Palais requires no reservation.
- **What if Angelina is full?** A good backup is **Café de la Paix** (5 min from the Louvre, place de l’Opéra), but it adds walking — keep the total under 30 min by dropping the Petit Palais garden stroll and heading straight to the museum.
- **Louvre highlights** – If you only have 3 hours, follow an “express highlights” route (there are free maps at the information desk). Consider renting a Nintendo 3DS guide or using the museum’s app.
- **End point flexibility** – If you finish the Petit Palais early, you can spend the remaining minutes in its café under the colonnade or walk 2 min to the Grand Palais (exterior view only while closed for renovation).

Would you like me to swap the afternoon for a Seine river cruise or a stroll through the Marais instead?
