Answer 1

Well, of course, you should see all the standard tourist sights if for no other reason than you can one up most of your firends when you're watching some TV show or a movie which is set in Paris by shouting "I've been there!" so yeah, go see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, The Arc de Triomphe, Sacre Coeur, the Opera Garnier, etc etc.

I assume you will have very serious chaperones so that your freedom of action is limited.

So here is some stuff they might let you do:

1) Check out the big plaza in front of the Centre Pompidu (Which contains the Museum of Modern Art). On most sunny afternoons you'll find all sorts of street entertainers there. Among these will almost always be some guys doing big involved audience participation comedy bits. When they call for volunteers (and they always do) don't hesitate to stand up. The fact that you probably don't speak French will be NO problem. These guys tend to be very good and very funny. You'll have a great time and if you can have someone snap a picture you'll have a great story to tell when you get home (and a photo to prove it).

2) If you have a skateboard bring it along and head over to the Forum des Halles (which is only a few blocks from the Pompidu). You'll find a lot of young skate board enthusiasts hanging out there. A chance for a great photo of you in the Parisian equivalent of the Mall.

3) At ten p.m. every Friday night thousands of people gather in the the Place d'Italie and proceed to rollerskate thru the streets accompanied by a special Police unit to clear the way and keep them safe. Its a chance to meet a lot of local people and to get a view of Paris that relatively few tourists ever have.

4) Many people say that Berthillion at 31 Rue St. Louis En L’ile 0n the Ile St. Louis (its the smaller island behind the one that Notre Dame stands on) has the best ice cream in Paris, maybe even the world. Its certainly excellant and the Ile St. Louis is a beautiful place.

Answer 4

Paris is amazing i am a teenager myself and i got back from paris 1month ago. To get the best out of your trip dont just look at all the tourist things but also walk through the back streets. The culture is amazing nad so are the bakeries. there are so many places you should go but I really like the Latin Quarter.I think its called the pumpoud center There are a lot of buskers in the latin quarter they are simply amazing you might not understand what they are saying completley but there body movement makes up for it. You must go to all the parks they are great. But remember if you are planning to go to the toilet take money as it costs to use most public toilets. i hope You have lots of Fun!

Answer 5

I can suggest the following program for 5 days to do in your order :

1) -  Tour Eiffel

    -  Champs Elysées (you can go in Virgin Megastores and Fnac shop in the middle of Champs Elysées to buy disk ....)

    -  Garden of Tuileries in front of the Louvre

    -  make a tour on the river Seine on the "bateau-mouche"

2) - go in Beaubourg and around and in Latin quarter, it's a young place. Many little shops for modern clothes in this aera.

    - Notre-Dame in the "Ile de la Cité"

    - If you visit only one museum, I suggest Museum Orsay

3) One day in Versailles

4) One day in Eurodisney

5)  - Shopping in Galeries Lafayette

Try Hard Rock café near Opera, Boulevard des Italiens.

    -  Montmartre

....and take good shoes, a little camera and enough money with you...

And be carefull to pickpockets !

If you suceed to do all these things, it will be a good performance !
