Dates are flexible. This day-by-day plan is provisional until you choose exact travel dates.
Walk from 68 Avenue des Champs-Élysées to 34 Avenue de New York — Champs-Élysées → Place de la Concorde → Tuileries → Place du Trocadéro; depart around 2:55 PM, allowing 2–2.5 hours including photo stops. If carrying luggage, use a taxi instead (roughly 20–35 minutes depending on traffic) and arrange drop-off at your accommodation; avoid driving and parking in central Paris.
Place de la Concorde — 8th arrondissement, ~5:00 PM; pause for views toward the Champs-Élysées, Tuileries Garden, and the Seine.
Jardin des Tuileries — 1st arrondissement, ~5:20 PM, 45 minutes; stroll the formal gardens west-to-east toward the Louvre and river.
Musée de l’Orangerie — Tuileries, ~6:10 PM, 1 hour; see Monet’s Water Lilies galleries. Entry is dependent on the museum’s remaining admission availability, so check same-day hours and book if possible.
Café de l’Alma — near the Eiffel Tower, ~7:45 PM, 1–1.5 hours; have dinner or drinks near your destination, budgeting approximately €25–€45 per person for a casual meal.
Avenue de New York riverside promenade — 16th arrondissement, ~9:15 PM, 30–45 minutes; finish with views of the Eiffel Tower across the Seine and continue to No. 34.
Begin around 2:55 PM at 68 Avenue des Champs-Élysées and walk east along the Champs-Élysées, then continue toward Place de la Concorde, the Jardin des Tuileries, and finally the Place du Trocadéro and Avenue de New York. Allow 2–2½ hours with photographs and pauses; this is a pleasant but substantial walk, roughly 5 km, with busy crossings and little shade on parts of the avenue. If you have luggage, take a taxi instead—allow around 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, and arrange drop-off directly at your accommodation. Avoid driving yourself: central Paris parking is inconvenient and expensive.
Pause at Place de la Concorde around 5:00 PM for the broad view up the Champs-Élysées, across the Tuileries, and toward the Seine. Continue into the Jardin des Tuileries around 5:20 PM, strolling the formal avenues and ponds for about 45 minutes. At approximately 6:10 PM, visit the Musée de l’Orangerie for Monet’s Water Lilies galleries. Allow an hour, but check the museum’s current closing time and remaining admission availability on the day—entry can depend on a timed ticket or same-day capacity. Standard admission is generally in the mid-teens, with reduced or free categories available.
After the museum, continue toward the Avenue de New York area; allow roughly 25–35 minutes by taxi or public transport, and longer if walking. Have dinner or drinks at Café de l’Alma around 7:45 PM, budgeting about €25–€45 per person for a casual meal. It is a practical stop near the destination, but reservations are useful at dinner; if you are running late from the museum, call ahead rather than relying on a walk-in table. Finish with a 30–45-minute stroll along the Avenue de New York riverside promenade from about 9:15 PM, where the Eiffel Tower is beautifully lit across the Seine, then continue to No. 34. The riverside can be breezy after dark, so bring an extra layer and keep valuables secure in the busier stretches.
