## Prompt

Build a one-day Paris itinerary. Constraints: start 9:00, end by 17:00, must include the Louvre and a 1-hour lunch, no more than 30 min total walking between stops. Present as a timed schedule.

## Response

This is a hyper-central Paris itinerary clustered around the Louvre to stay under 30 minutes of total walking while hitting key sights from 9:00 to 17:00.

All stops are within a 0.8 km radius of the Louvre, keeping walks to 4-8 minutes each.

## Timed Schedule

| Time | Location | What to Do | Walk to Next |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **09:00 - 09:40** | **Jardin des Tuileries** | Start at the west end of the Tuileries for a morning coffee and stroll toward the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. Low crowds, good light for photos. | 5 min to Louvre Pyramid entrance |
| **09:45 - 12:15** | **Louvre Museum** | Pre-booked 10:00 entry slot, arrive early for security line. Focused visit: Denon Wing - Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo. 2.5 hours avoids fatigue. | 4 min to lunch |
| **12:19 - 13:19** | **Lunch - Le Fumoir, 6 Rue Adolphe Jullien** | 1-hour sit-down lunch just off Louvre colonnade. Classic French bistro, quick service for museum district. | 5 min to Palais Royal |
| **13:24 - 14:10** | **Palais Royal & Galeries** | Gardens, Buren Columns, covered passages. Quiet break after Louvre crowds. | 8 min through Tuileries |
| **14:18 - 15:45** | **Musée de l'Orangerie** | Monet's Water Lilies in two oval rooms + small Impressionist collection. Much smaller and calmer than Musée d'Orsay, directly next door. | 5 min to final stop |
| **15:50 - 16:50** | **Place de la Concorde / Seine Overlook** | End with panoramic view of the Seine, Eiffel Tower in distance, and Ferris wheel. Wrap at café before 17:00 close. | End - no further walk needed |

## Logistics Check

**Total Walking Time:** 5 + 4 + 5 + 8 + 5 = **27 minutes**, under your 30-minute limit.

**Why this works:**
- No metro needed - everything is walkable in the 1st arrondissement
- Lunch is scheduled after the longest museum block, when you need it
- Louvre at opening time = shortest lines
- Route is linear west-to-east-to-west loop, no backtracking
- Ends at 16:50, giving you 10 minutes buffer to reach a taxi/metro by 17:00

**Pro tips:** Book Louvre and Orangerie tickets for timed entry, wear comfortable shoes for museum standing, and keep lunch reservation at Le Fumoir or Café Marly for proximity.

Want me to adjust this for Musée d'Orsay instead of Orangerie, or optimize for food / photography?
