City stroll Montmartre - Arc de Triomphe - Champs Elysees - Place de la Concorde - Tuileries
We suggest you take the metro or bus from Montmartre to reach Place Charles de Gaulle Étoile. At the very top of the Champs Élysées, it is there that the Arc de Triomphe sits. Visit the monument, then quietly walk down "the most beautiful Avenue in the World". As the day will be long, we suggest that you go down the Champs Elysées a little (for example, to the Station (Georges V) and take the Metro (Line 1) and continue by public transport to Place de la Concorde (at the other end of the Champs Elysées).
You can also get off at the previous station: (Champs Élysées - Clemenceau) and do the rest on foot. If you have good shoes, you can also do everything on foot: it takes about 30 minutes to walk a little more than 2 kilometers from the Champs Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe to Concorde!
Then discover the Place de la Concorde, its obelisk brought back from Egypt by Napoleon, and its pretty fountains. to your left, you can see the US Embassy.
On the other side of the square, the Tuileries gardens begin. Stroll through the gardens; you can also stop there for a snack or a drink; then at the other end of the park, you will discover the Louvre and its famous Pyramid.
Note that here too, to shorten the walk, you can take the metro (always line 1), which can take you directly to the Louvre.
