## 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

Here’s a compact one-day Paris schedule that runs 09:00–17:00, includes the **Louvre** and a **1‑hour lunch**, and keeps **walking between stops under ~30 minutes total** by clustering everything around the Louvre/Tuileries area and using minimal, short transfers.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)[7](https://www.artvisitguide.com/paris-in-one-day-itinerary/)

## Timed Schedule (09:00–17:00)

**09:00–09:10 · Arrival at the Louvre area**

- Arrive at/near the **Carrousel du Louvre** or Pyramid entrance.
- This short approach walk (from nearby métro Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre or a taxi drop-off) is your longest single walk of the day, kept to about 10 minutes.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)

**09:10–12:00 · Louvre visit**

- Enter the Louvre and start with the **Denon Wing** highlights (Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Italian paintings, French Romantics) while the crowds are still building.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)
- Around 10:30–11:00, move toward the **Sully Wing** for Venus de Milo and selected Egyptian antiquities; this is an internal transition, not street walking.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)
- Aim to finish this focused visit by **12:00**, which aligns with realistic 3‑hour highlight itineraries for the Louvre.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)[6](https://dangerouscupcakelifestyle.com/visiting-the-louvre-what-to-see-at-the-louvre-in-one-day/)

**12:00–13:00 · Lunch (1 hour, minimal walking)**

- Stay **on-site or directly adjacent** to avoid extra walking.
- Recommended options:
  - **Café Mollien (inside Louvre)** – classic museum café with a terrace overlooking the Pyramid and Tuileries.[8](https://theeiffeltraveler.com/2024/02/29/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)
  - **Carrousel du Louvre food court** – fast, varied options accessible from inside the museum.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)
- Both choices keep walking to just a few minutes from the galleries to your table and back.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)

**13:00–13:10 · Exit to Tuileries Garden**

- Leave via the **Pyramid exit** and walk directly across the rue de Rivoli into the **Jardin des Tuileries**; this is about a 5–10 minute stroll.[1](https://francetravelplanning.com/your-paris-itinerary-plan-your-one-day-trip-to-paris/)[5](https://fullsuitcase.com/paris-one-day-itinerary/)
- This short transition keeps cumulative outdoor walking very low.

**13:10–14:15 · Tuileries Garden & Place de la Concorde**

- Enjoy a relaxed walk through the **Tuileries**, one of the most popular local spots for sitting by the fountains and people‑watching.[1](https://francetravelplanning.com/your-paris-itinerary-plan-your-one-day-trip-to-paris/)[7](https://www.artvisitguide.com/paris-in-one-day-itinerary/)
- You can:
  - Sit on a chair by the central basins.
  - Stroll slowly toward **Place de la Concorde** at the western end of the garden, taking in statues and views.
- A typical Tuileries + Concorde stroll is planned as about 1 hour in many one‑day itineraries, and you can adapt pace to keep actual walking comfortable and brief.[5](https://fullsuitcase.com/paris-one-day-itinerary/)

**14:15–14:25 · Short walk or taxi back toward the Louvre area**

- Walk back partway into the garden or closer to the Louvre, or take a short taxi/Uber hop from Concorde back toward the Louvre/Tuileries side to reduce cumulative walking.
- Walking this segment can be kept to roughly 10 minutes; using a vehicle instead makes total walking between major “stops” stay well under 30 minutes overall.

**14:25–16:15 · Optional second stop very close by (low‑walking choice)**

Choose one nearby activity that requires almost no extra walking:

- **Option A: Musée de l’Orangerie (next to Tuileries)**
  - Located at the **southwest corner of the Tuileries**, adjacent to Place de la Concorde, with famed Monet Water Lilies.[5](https://fullsuitcase.com/paris-one-day-itinerary/)
  - From within the garden, it’s only a few minutes’ walk, keeping your total walking minimal.
  - Spend 60–90 minutes inside; movement is internal, not between distant sites.

- **Option B: Café time on rue de Rivoli / near Louvre**
  - Pick a nearby café along **rue de Rivoli** for an extended coffee and pastry stop and light people‑watching.
  - Street‑level walking to these cafés is just a few minutes from either the Louvre or Tuileries, staying within your walking limit.

(If you prefer strictly limiting total walking, Option B or a shorter Orangerie visit is best.)

**16:15–17:00 · Gentle finish near the Louvre/Tuileries**

- Use the last 45 minutes to:
  - Sit again in the **Tuileries** or on a bench along rue de Rivoli.
  - Take photos of the **Louvre Pyramid** from outside, if you did not linger earlier.
- Position yourself to finish the day very close to your transport departure point, avoiding any significant final walk.

## Walking & Transport Summary

- **All major stops** (Louvre, lunch, Tuileries, Place de la Concorde, Orangerie / cafés) sit within a compact area so that:
  - The main approach to the Louvre (~10 minutes).
  - Short moves Louvre → lunch → Tuileries → Concorde → Orangerie/cafés → final departure.
  - Together stay around or under **30 minutes of outdoor walking**, with most movement inside buildings or gardens at your own pace.[4](https://louvremuseum-guide.com/plan-your-visit/louvre-one-day-itinerary/)[5](https://fullsuitcase.com/paris-one-day-itinerary/)
- You can further reduce walking by:
  - Taking a taxi/Uber between your hotel and the Louvre.
  - Using a car from Place de la Concorde back toward the Louvre/Tuileries rather than walking that segment.

Would you like me to adapt this schedule to a specific hotel or arrival location in Paris so the start and end points fit your exact logistics?
