Bonjour my fellow travelers! I am going to Paris in a couple of days and I'm wondering if there are any places there you can recommend I visit!

What do you like to do? That might help getting you some better ideas.

I really don't know! I'd like to see more of the city I guess, and check out the less touristy spots. The last time I went it was all very rushed and we didn't really get to stop and get a good look.

On Day 6 you are going to see three MAJOR art museums in one day... I'd suggest spacing those musuems out. The Louvre itself can take the majority of one day.

Don't forget to take into consideration the waiting time. The lines to get into the tower of Notre-Dame and St.-Chappelle can be LONG. I think it took us 45 minutes to St.-CHappell and that was back in March. The line to the tower was even longer.

These are places I've already seen! :)

Have you seen the Cluny Museum?

I love Shakespeare & Co, on the Rue de la Bucherie in the Latin quarter.

There's also Pigalle, the red-light district, which is always interesting.

Have you seen Montmartre? That's the highest point of the city, and it's a great view.

It sounds like you've got a great trip planned!! All I'd suggest to add is that when you go to the Louvre check out the basement (if you haven't already). I went down then last time and you can see the old foundation walls and all.

Also, although its not very cultural I fully recommend visiting either Laduree or Pierre Herme for mararons. They are just too delicious for words. (Actually I'm very fond of the large amounts of bakeries/coffee shops in the city)

I second Laduree! Go for tea one afternoon :)
