That is a question almost impossible to answer since I do not know exactly how you travel. You may -- or may not -- have to stand in line for up to two hours to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and how long do you anticipate being on the tower itself (for pictures and just generally enjoying the sites). And when you say picnic, are you referring to noshing a sandwich as you stroll through the grounds, or having a proper French picnic with a bottle of wine to sip with cheese and charcuterie? In addition, how long do you have in Paris? If only a day or so, you obviously will not want to spend half a day or more, but if you are there for several days, a relaxing afternoon could be just what you want!
We are visiting Paris in May 2018. Have heard some issues about crime/safety in certain areas. We are considering renting an apartment (airbnb) near either Champ de Mars area or Musee d'Orsay. Wonder if those are safe areas and also whether they are in walking distance of Paris' major sites. We are willing to walk 2-3 miles to visit sites. Thank you!
