Timeline
15:36
Grab a quick coffee or pastry at Passage des Panoramas. It is the oldest of the covered passages and just a minute’s walk from the museum.
16:36
Walk to Parc Monceau. It is one of Paris’s best kept secrets, painted by Monet numerous times. Arrive early to find a spot near the statues or the entrance rotunda before the crowds.
17:21
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts about 16:29, so the park will be bathed in warm light just before the sun dips below the horizon.
17:51
End the evening at Le Cafe des Lettres. The charming cobblestoned courtyard is an ideal place to linger over a glass of wine and digest the view.
Local tip
Parc Monceau is open late, but Le Cafe des Lettres closes at 23:00, so head there before then.
