I have plenty of days to spend in Paris and I'm kinda getting tired of planning for the typical museum visits and site visits.
Any cemetaries, interesting sites, cool things to do that are off the typical tourist agenda?
I saw that the Drain/ Sewer museum is available. MIght be kinda interesting. Stinky as hell, but whatever.

If you are familiar with the metro you can go to a flea market on the outskirts of Paris with 1000+ vendors. Its definately a neat place to shop!
Here is a picture of the metro map on this link...

You want the #4 purple metro line to Porte de Clingnancourt
When you get out of the metro and onto the street you go straight across the street, past a KFC (believe it or not LOL), and you run right into it. There is also in the midst of this flea market a smaller set of vendors that are in little alleys where you can find some really old and unique things. We found a trinket box dating back to the 1800's for 180 euro, bought it on a whim and after researching its worth ALOT more.
Anyway just thought I would put the idea out...

Hey, I used ot live in Paris for 8 years.
I have a few suggestions:
- Parcs: Parc Montsouris in the South 14eme
Buttes Chaumont, North 19eme
- Streets/Places: Place Dauphine 1st
Butte aux Cailles 13eme
- Museums: Catacombes. Something unique to look at.

When you arrive go to le carrousel du Louvre (downstair) in that mall there is an office du tourisme ,you can ask all the question you want.you could look into:
-La grande arche
-La tour montparnasse
-Les catacombes
-Le jardin du luxembourg
-L'institut du monde arabe(good little restaurant on main floor)
-Le pere lachaise
-Le musee du tissu et de l'habillement (Off rue de rivoli in a wing of the louvre)
-Antiquaires north of paris
-Eglise st sulpice (on sunday morning between two services free organ playing)please dress proper by respect.
-Sometimes under bridge in front of eiffel tower 2/3 guys practice hunting horn at night.
-If they reopened ,the roof of the samaritaine store.
