How specialists structure stays
First visits balance Left Bank walks with a single ‘big museum’ day; repeaters want Le Marais galleries, champagne day trips, or opera tickets with seat maps.
Trade buyers should see commission terms, bilingual guide pools, and coach parking rules for groups near the Seine.
When to go
April–June and September–October; August can be quiet in business districts but busy at landmarks.
