Day 5, 6th September, was our final full day and last night in Paris.
By this point in our journey, we had settled into a comfortable travel routine. We usually preferred to keep our mornings relaxed rather than rushing out early, and our last day in Paris was no different.
We took our time during the morning, had lunch and then planned to spend the evening exploring Montmartre.
After several busy days in Paris, we decided to take Day 4 a little easier.
There was no early-morning rush. My wife washed some clothes, we relaxed at our Airbnb and gave ourselves some time to recover from all the walking we had been doing during the previous days.
We finally started our day after lunch to see Panthéon, Luxembourg Gardens & Evening at Eiffel Tower Paris.
Sometimes when travelling, I feel it is important not to turn every day into a checklist of attractions. A slower day gives you time to enjoy the city rather than simply moving from one famous place to another.
On 4th September 2026, our third day in Paris, we had a fairly ambitious plan. We wanted to start with one of the city’s most recognizable monuments, walk along its famous avenue, enjoy lunch, and then dedicate almost the entire second half of the day to one place — the Louvre Museum.
By the time we finished around 6 PM, we were tired. It had been a lot of walking and a lot to take in, but it was also one of those days in Paris that I knew I would remember.
Some of the best days in Paris are not about rushing from one famous attraction to another. They are about starting slowly, walking through beautiful streets, stopping for coffee, discovering food along the way, and simply enjoying the atmosphere of the city.
Our journey started with a midnight Thai Airways flight from Bangkok to Paris.
I usually enjoy overnight international flights because there is a different feeling when you board a plane at night knowing that, when you wake up, you will be in another part of the world.
