I have been a couple of times and seen most of the tourist stuff. At the moment the best (and most unusual) thing in my experience were the catacombes, not for the light hearted but great!!!

From my experience, Paris is a city to be savored slowly.. If I go again, I intend to not plan anything specific.. but rather just to browse the streets, to slowly wander this magical city and to let Paris show itself to me rather than hurridly go to this museum or that famous place.. I know that most of my best travel experiences come from this state of mind.. Does this make any sense to you...? Don't plan on seeing any one thing.. Plan on exploring, without a map for a change.
You'll be so glad you did.

When I visited, loved the Luxemborg Gardens, Sacre Coer, take a dinner cruise on the Seine River and if you like to go to local bazaars, go to the ones in Monteparnase. I also recommend taking a day trip to Versailles, the castles there are amazing. And If you are staying a little longer, drive to Nantes. It's about 3 hours from Paris.
Nantes is in wine country and if you are a wine lover, you'll dig it. Have fun.

The best things about Paris are her secrets. See the touristy things, if you wish, but definitely go explore. Go into one of the working class arrondissements and find local boulangeries. Try a dessert.
Go to Montmartre and sit on the lawn for lunch and just watch.
Go to the Jardin des Plantes and go for a stroll. Find the hidden gazebo.

How about just trying to enjoy a simple Parisian lifestyle. Go to a local cafe, order some food and coffee and enjoy the people as they come and go. It's the ultimate relaxing experience and it beats the touristy crowds. If you want to see real Paris, just do what the residents do :)

The Eiffel Tower is extensive. Dominates the skyline. And Paris is a extensive city.

The food is gorgeous, and assorted. you may get French dishes, yet in addition all varieties of Asian, African, Mediterranean, American. I propose, despite you prefer is obtainable. people dress like people dress is maximum Western cities, yet Paris being northern Europe, they dress to examine the factors particularly. I genuinely could bypass to Paris lower back. i'm specific there are various properly widely used inns, yet I definitely tend to stay in funds places. vacationer automobile? properly, there is the hop-on hop-off bus that does a around trip of all of the city factors of interest. you may desire to check out that. once you're a Paris first-timer, it extremely is a sturdy thank you to ascertain the city.

It's a must that you go to all the places that are in the De Vinci Code.
Then maybe why not soak up some sun at the French Rivera

I went on a grave pilgrimage to Le Pere Lachaise.
[Edit]
That's a trip to see dead famous people (Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde and so on) not a very sad journey to a Parisian suburb!
