Something besides the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre please ...I've been to Paris a few times before (and love it more with each visit), but I want to do something different this time.

Musee Grevin (much better than Madame Tussaud's in London - or it was when I visited):

The Marais district, where the nobility had their town houses "hotels". Visit the beautiful Place des Vosges, formerly called Place Royale; the Hotel Carnavalet - a superb museum - and, I think, the Hotel Soubise where you can see the only portrait of Jeanne d'Arc. It's fascinating.

The Expiatory Chapel, near the Madeleine. It's a small oasis in Paris where an altar was erected in the crypt on the spot where the bones of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette were found. The massacred Swiss guards are buried there, as is Charlotte Corday.

The Isle St Louis is my particular favourite. Don't forget to wander the Left Bank's narrow streets, and, if you can, eat at La Procope!

Visit the Père-Lachaise cemetery It is the city’s largest park, occupying several thousand acres of land. Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust , Chopin, Jim Morrison (Doors), Isadora Duncan and Edith Piaf, among other famous and notables are all resting there. The cemetery was founded in 1804, so there are some amazing tombs and memorials. Millions visit each year.

A personal favorite is a mechanical sculpture "The Time Defender." Maybe not worth going out of your way for... but if you find yourself in the "clock neighborhood."
And of course there is always Bethillon ice cream.

I think any tourist attraction in Paris is unusual because the staff appear to just begrudgingly put up with you being there and spending your money in their city, like they're doing you a favour and they'd really rather not have the inconvenience. Or is that just because I'm English and they have some sort of attitude problem towards us?
