[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d recommend against actually going up the Eiffel Tower; that can easily eat up half a day. Instead, Metro to Trocadero to get good pictures of the Tower from a distance, and then walk toward it to get closer shots. Then hop on a Batobus (water taxi; you’ll see them on the Seine right by the Tower), which will take you toward Notre Dame. While you’re in that vicinity, check out Shakespeare and Company (a famous English-language bookstore).

If you want good views of the city, visit Sacre Coeur and take pictures from the observation area out front. While you’re there, spend time walking around Montmartre.

As mentioned by several other posters, Musee d’Orsay is well worth the time. I also recommend Musee de l’Orangerie. It’s a fairly small museum that features Monet’s giant water lily paintings.

Luxembourg Gardens are also beautiful this time of year (or any time of year, really).

Great advice here.  I would also add the Promenade Plantee elevated walkway as an awesome and different way to see the city.  It was featured in a scene in Before Sunset, and was the model for the High Line in New York, but much less crowded (and more green).[/quote]
