Paris landmark walks: choose a Seine or west-side pair

Paris’s four curated landmarks are not one compact loop. Choose a central Seine walk around the Louvre and Notre-Dame, or a separate west-side outing around the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. A museum visit deserves its own time budget.

Choose the walk that fits your day

A smaller first outing

Use the Louvre and Notre-Dame as anchors for a central walk, with the Seine helping you keep your bearings. Choose just one anchor if your time is limited.

When you have more time

Save the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe for another session. Check a pedestrian route between them rather than treating a line on the map as a walkable shortcut.

These are our editorial route suggestions, not measured itineraries or an accessibility assessment. Live Trails build from nearby available Charms and may select different stops.

The Paris collection, stop by stop

  1. 01

    Louvre Museum

    Start with the museum’s surroundings. An outdoor walk is not a museum reservation, and courtyards can have access controls.

  2. 02

    Notre-Dame Cathedral

    Continue towards Île de la Cité. Check the cathedral’s current visitor arrangements separately from your collecting route.

  3. 03

    Eiffel Tower

    Make the tower the anchor of the west-side outing. Allow extra time for security and any booked visit.

  4. 04

    Arc de Triomphe

    Use the designated pedestrian access. Never cross the traffic circle to reach a Charm pin.

Visitor access comes first

Passported is free to download, with optional in-app purchases. It does not include attraction tickets, transport or permission to enter private areas. A Charm may be unavailable if its pin cannot be reached safely and legally. Never cross a barrier, road or waterway just to claim it.
