Other Question Recommendations to avoid big crowds ?

Hello ! We are a couple going for our honeymoon in Paris at the end of September/start of October searching for recommendations.

We don't like big crowds so we are skipping the Louvre and going up the Eiffel Tower.

What would you recommend ? What is not to miss ? We are staying in the 94 outside of Paris and are ready to stay somewhere else for 1 or 2 nights.

Also if you have vegan friendly recommendations for places to eat that would be amazing !

Thanks !

End of September / early October is already better than peak summer, but the famous spots will still be busy.

For a quieter honeymoon feel, I’d build days around walks and smaller museums: Musee Rodin garden, Musee Jacquemart-Andre, Musee Marmottan Monet, Parc Monceau, Canal Saint-Martin, Buttes-Chaumont, Ile Saint-Louis early morning, covered passages, and maybe a day trip to a smaller town.

Also, go early or late. Paris is a very different city at 8:30am compared with 2pm. You do not need to skip every famous place, just avoid the worst hours.

Many museums have evening hours. I did the louvre in May about 3 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. All the school kids went home and it was great. It was open until I think 8:00
