"The Eiffel Tower, maybe not going to the top but just seeing it in front of you is awesome."  See More

"You can get a two (consecutive) day pass and visit The Louvre in the morning, have lunch, visit the Musée d'Orsay in the afternoon (pass almost paid for now); you can go up on the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral, up on top of the Arc de Triomphe, see the Musee Rodin and a number of other museums, not sure of the Eiffel Tower."  See More

"Also, don't pay to climb the Eiffel Tower (very expensive/crowded) and instead, climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe."  See More

"You almost have to take them to the Eiffel Tower."  See More

"It's worth it of course to visit the Eiffel Tower early one morning or late one evening to take in the view, those are the best times."  See More

"Take the metro to the Trocadéro stop and walk to the Palais de Chaillot in the late afternoon/ early evening for photos of the Eiffel Tower."  See More

"the food is excellent, and the view of the Eiffel Tower when it sparkles at night is wonderful."  See More

"Obviously, just walking around the Eiffel Tower grounds confirms that yes, you are in Paris."  See More

"I usually started at Champ de Mars to then visit Luxembourg Garden, enjoy the view to then go to Notre-Dame de Paris, from there I would go all the way to Champs-Élysées and in the way visit a couple bridges along the river, to then return to Champ de Mars to see the Eiffel Tower at night."  See More

"Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame de Paris are both touristy, but well worth it -- show up early in the day to avoid lines!"  See More

"When my wife and I first went to Paris in 1989, we were much younger, and we saw many of the top sights in 4 days. I had done a lot of research and we had a good idea of what we wanted to see and do and where they were located. We got up relatively early, had breakfast and went sight-seeing all day until about 6:00 p.m., and then went out for the evening. As Lauren commented, it was exhausting, but we saw a lot. On many subsequent trips we have stayed up to two weeks at a time, and we are returning for another 2 weeks in June. I would say that you should allow at least 4 days, and a week is much better and more relaxing. What you should not miss depends on what interests you most. If you are interested in museums, the The Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay are obvious choices. You can save a lot of time and money buying a Museum Pass, which allows you to get into many museums and monuments for no charge and you avoid most of the lines. Buy them for 2, 4 or 6 consecutive days. ."  See More

"A good way to start you first day would be to start at the Notre-Dame de Paris and walk your way to the The Louvre, Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower in a couple of hours just to get a feel for the city and catch the sites."  See More

"We did the The Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay one day (plan and buy tickets to the Louvre ahead of time and arrive right when they open), spent a day at Versailles, and spent another day around the city taking in the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame de Paris (both from below, we didn't have time to go up), Champs Elysees, Basilique du Sacre-Coeur in Montmartre, a cruise on the Seine from Pont-Neuf, walking along Pont des Arts, walking by the Moulin Rouge, more wandering and several great meals."  See More

"We stayed in the Opéra district, right beside the Palais-Royal and the The Louvre We walked a lot and got to see Notre-Dame de Paris Eiffel Tower Quartier Du Marais Champs-Élysées We also did the touristy thing and took a boat ride on the Seine (which is useful for seeing a lot in a short time) I would recommend a visit to the Arc de Triomphe at 6pm."  See More

"It stops at Champs-Élysées, Eiffel Tower, Musée d'Orsay, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Notre-Dame de Paris, Jardines des Plantes, Hôtel de Ville, and the The Louvre."  See More

"It provides river views of the Notre-Dame de Paris and Eiffel Tower and the option to hop on and off is nice."  See More

"Go see the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame de Paris."  See More

"Of course, Paris has beautiful fireworks as well at the Eiffel Tower, but having spent Bastille Day on the Champ de Mars, I can say that they usually shut down most of the nearby Metro stations, meaning you have to walk quite a ways to get back to the Metro, and with a lot of Parisians in the cold and the middle of the night."  See More

"If this is your first time in Paris, I would opt for the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame de Paris, or any of the museums, or the many cafes and great food, with people watching, but if catacombs is a must on your list, you won't be disappointed"  See More

"Stroll along the river and of course take in the Eiffel Tower."  See More

"Very close to Eiffel Tower and most other attractions of Paris."  See More

"You've been given great advice here so I'm just going to add a few things I don't see listed.  Also, I would strongly recommend you flip your itinerary--Nice is OK, but not spectacular--you should see it, but 3-4 days is about 2-3 days too long, especially when Paris is so much more exciting. Just a thought. :) Rue Montorgueil - one of my favorite market streets in the city. Amazing vibe, tons of fish stands, fruit stores, wine stores, great restaurants (L'Escargot Montorgueil is a classic), music, etc., etc.  Opera Garnier - Do NOT miss seeing this building either from the inside or the outside. It's a little gaudy but so, so interesting. A lot of people don't know this but there's a stagehand who keeps bees on the roof and you can buy his honey around town.  ;"  See More
