[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a really wonderful time in Paris, and one of the best parts of it was that you can just wander around, and happen upon a cool little church, or a nice market, or a park. Pick a neighborhood whose flavor seems appealing to you, and spend a day just getting to know it; you won't regret that choice.

The Louvre has late hours on Fridays, and the Orsay has them on Thursdays (please double check), and those are much nicer times of day to go than during the day when everything is packed. [/quote]

We did a late Louvre tour (a couple hours before closing) and it was still a zoo. And outside the pyramids was PACKED with influencers, people walking around, skateboarders, performers at all hours of the day and night. There is also a restaurant on the grounds, facing the pyramids. Our guide as great, guiding us through the high points of the Louvre but even he was annoyed. He said he is starting to stop those tours due to the crowds. He also said that the Musee D'Orsay is starting to become more popular with the tourists b/c of the crowds at the Louvre. We tried to get tickets every day to Orsay (last minute so not well planned on our part) and none were available.

FWIW. [/quote]

We were also there in the off season on a weekday, and it was crowded to the nines up until the minute they were pushing people to leave at closing.   However, they do have some very late nights (9pm?) and I would definitely go for those with teens at both, Louvre and Orsay.   Also, I second the Canal St. Martin recommendation of another poster.[/quote]
