PARIS....

For the ladies that have been to Paris....

I'm leaving next week but I will only be spending 3 days in Paris...the rest will be in London.

We have never been to Paris. Can someone please recommend any activities, places to visit, lounges, atractions to visit.

TIA!!!!!!!!!!

Try out Rick Steves guide book... (highlights below)... I found it very helpful in trying to see everything!

Many people fall in love with Paris. Some see the essentials and flee, overwhelmed by the big city. With the proper approach, you'll fall head over heels for Europe's capital city. The day plans below — for visits of one to seven days — will help you prioritize the many sights.

Paris in One, Two, or Three Busy Days
Sights are listed in descending order of importance. If you have only one day, just do Day 1 (below); for two days, add Day 2. If you want to fit in Versailles on a three-day visit, try the afternoon of the second day (easier) or the third day.

Day 1
Morning: Follow Historic Paris Walk from Rick's Paris guidebook, featuring Ile de la Cité, Notre-Dame, Latin Quarter, and Sainte-Chapelle.

Afternoon: Tour the Louvre.

Evening: Enjoy the Trocadéro scene and a twilight ride up the Eiffel Tower.

Day 2
Morning: Follow the book's Champs-Elysées Walk from the Arc de Triomphe down the grand avenue des Champs-Elysées to Tuileries Garden.

Midday: Cross the pedestrian bridge from the Tuileries Garden, then tour the Orsay Museum.

Afternoon: Tour the Rodin Museum or Napoleon's Tomb, or visit Versailles (take the RER suburban train direct from Orsay).

Evening: Cruise the Seine River, take Paris Vision's night-time Illumination bus tour, or follow Rick's Paris guidebook's Floodlit Paris Taxi Tour.

Day 3
Morning: Ride the RER suburban train out to Versailles (tour the château and sample the gardens).

Afternoon: Follow the book's Marais Walk.

Evening: Take the book's Montmartre Walk, featuring the Sacré-Coeur basilica.
