Answer 4

Any place other than the touristy areas. It's funner to just walk around and mingle with the locals, absorb the culture for yourself, believe me it's very fascinating. French people are very warm and welcoming, they love to teach about their culture, no matter if your french is perfect or not. I only knew a few french words when I went, most of them spoke pretty good english, but you should at least know standard greeting, it's respectful of the culture. A real hidden gem that's pretty familiar but not full of tourists is Montemarte, it's a tiny art village, it's very lovely and full of interesting things to do and see and you'll love the local artists clammoring to paint your portrait.

Answer 5

1) The Eiffel Tower

2) Louvre Museum(Mona Lisa)

3) Arc de Triomphe

4) Champs Elysees( "the glamorous street" in Paris).

5) Versailles (the palace)

6) The Tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte

7) Notre Dam Cathedral

8) Paris Disneyland

9) The Paintings of Van Gogh

PARIS IS SO PRETTY!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Bateau Mouche.  It's a boat ride up (or down :)  ) the Seine.  You will see a lot in an hour that you would not see on foot in days.  You just sit on the boat and a narrator describes the architecture and points of interest.  Very reasonable charge.
