A compact Paris long weekend. Friday night arrival, Sunday evening flight home. Hit the essentials without overreaching.
Build this tripFriday evening arrive CDG, taxi or RER B into the city. Dinner in the Marais or a bistro near your hotel. Saturday: morning at the Louvre (book a time slot — the walk-up line burns two hours), lunch in Saint-Germain, afternoon walking the Seine from Pont Neuf to the Eiffel Tower, evening wine at a Montmartre cafe with a view. Sunday: brunch in the Marais, Musee d'Orsay (smaller, more focused than the Louvre), stroll the Jardin du Luxembourg, fly home late evening. Skip the Versailles day trip — it's a full-day commitment that doesn't fit a weekend.
May-June or September-October; avoid August (half the city is closed).
