  1. All the standard tourist sights if for no other reason than you can one up most of your friends 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 be with the one or both of the parental units 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 doing a 180 frontside ollie in the Parisian equivalent of the Mall.

    3) If you will be there during the summer then go down to the river. They cart in a bunch of sand and turn a section of the Seine riverbank into an artificial "beach." You can't swim in the Seine (its really polluted) but people play beach volleyball and otheriwse act like they are at the beach.

    4) 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.

    One more thing. I assume you don't speak French. (Excuse me if I am wrong about that). The way to say "A crepe with straberry jam please" (which is my daughter's favorite) is "Une Crepe avec comfiture fraise s'il vous plait."  While out walking with your parents you will see lots of crepe stands. Casually walk up, making sure your parents can hear you speaking,  and order one in French. Then watch your parents heads begin to spin around as they try to figure out how you learned to speak French without their knowing.
