Free Time Suggestions: Paris

Easy & Atmospheric

• Luxembourg Gardens – Perfect for jet lag recovery or a quiet morning; grab a chair and people-watch.

• Saint-Germain-des-Prés café crawl – Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, or a tucked-away local café.

• Canal Saint-Martin stroll – Trendy, local, and far from tourist-heavy zones.

Culture Without Museums

• Covered passages (Galerie Vivienne, Passage des Panoramas) – Historic and charming.

• Bookshop browsing – Shakespeare & Company or independent French bookstores.

Evening Ideas

• Wine bar hop in the Latin Quarter or Oberkampf.

• Sunset picnic with takeaway near the Seine or in Square du Vert-Galant.
