[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you buy tickets to the Eiffel Tower directly from their website or go through a tour?

Also, can anyone recommend a river tour company?  [/quote]

I'd skip the Eiffel Tower and go up the top of Montmartre, unless you can somehow skip the line at the Eiffel Tower. We spent miserable hours at the Eiffel Tower. The area was full of guys trying to hawk cheap souvenirs and running away when the police turned up.

I'd try the quiet rooms of the Louvre e.g. Greek sculpture, non- da Vinci artists. It is funny to look at the zoo in front of the Mona Lisa. Also Notre Dame, Ste Chapelle for its stained glass, walk along the Seine, Musee d'Orsay for the Impressionists, Place des Vosges for the architecture.  Maybe download a walking tour on your phone/MP3 and put on your good walking shoes.

Re restaurants, find something you like the look of, but not in the vicinity of tourists traps. Moroccan couscous restaurants are good. Pop into a patisserie and choose something fattening. [/quote]
