Worth it!īased on what you've outlined, I'd say you probably shouldn't count more than 1 to 1 1/2 hours actually in Paris. Just be mindful of train times and the busyness at Orly for your return, I’d say. In Amsterdam, we were told we needed the full three hours so we buzzed i to town on the train, raced around for just under two hours and then raced back to the airport with plenty of time to spare. You will simply pick up your luggage and then will want to ask how busy security and wait times are for when you get back. If you are coming from Portugal to France, you won’t have to go through passport control or security when you arrive as you are coming from a Schengen country. I had a 7 hour layover (slightly less) in Amsterdam two weeks ago and took the train into downtown. But I have full faith you can see some of Paris with a 7 hour layover. The Latin quarter is quite charming as well. I would suggest either staying closer to the Île/Louvre and maybe seeing less places.

Notre Dame to the Arc is over an hour by foot and to the Tour is just slightly less.

Hope you guys can help us, I have never been to Paris before. Is there an app to buy train tickets or do I buy them at the train station? Is there a cheaper day pass? What is the easiest way from Tour Eiffel to Orly? How long would it take to walk from Notre-Dame – Lourve – Pont Alexandre – Arc de Triomph – Tour Eiffel? That leaves approximatly 3 hours if I am being very conservative with our time. We would then walk to Lourve, then Pont Alexandre, Arc de Triomph and then Tour Eiffelįrom there we take a train back to Orly from Champ de Mars We arrive at Orly at 06.20, have to get our luggage and store it at the airport and then take a train to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame station.

I want to ask if my plan is possible and how we go about buying train tickets. We want to use spent time in Paris seeing a few of the main attractions. I am taking a group of student at the age of 14 on a school trip to Portugal and we have about 7 hours wait in Orly before our next flight to Porto.
