[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Musee D'Orsay is always a must stop when I go.  [/quote]

Agree - my favorite.  I cannot stand the Louvre.[/quote]

The Orsay is definitely the single best museum if you have the time/inclination to go to just one.  The Louvre is amazing also but overwhelming with the size and crowds. The middle eastern art is incredible.

Museum Pass is worth it if you think you will go to a bunch of museums, but if you only have the stamina for one or two probably not worth the money.  The ability to skip lines does make you more likely to go to more museums because you can more easily "pop in" for a reasonable short visit.  You can buy it at the Tourist Information desk at CDG just after you clear customs.  Two or four day options (48 or 62 euros per person).

Opera area isn't the most interesting- unless you like to window shop/really shop at expensive stores.  But the Metro stop there is a hub of 3 lines so you can get anywhere pretty easily and quickly.

Eiffel Tower is pretty cool, definitely do the walk up option as you will save both money and significant time in line.

For food- these sites are good guides:

Random cafes/restaurants are not necessarily always good food anymore, you need to seek it out a little bit.  But still many many good places to eat.[/quote]
