Museums.


Palais de la Porte Dorée
Slightly out of the way but worth it for the Bois de Vincennes. Beautiful building.
Alternative museum with African, Asian, Oceanian and American pieces. Restaurant Les Ombres is out of this world.
Everyone's favourite. Would take years to complete. Obviously for the Mona Lisa. Avoid queues by taking the Louvre "secret entrance" -- not by the Pyramids but through the shopping centre Carrousel du Louvre on Rue de Rivoli.

The Pantheon
Make sure you go down to the crypt, lots of notable French people buried here.

Musée d'Orsay
Museum featuring the works of Van Gogh, Monet and Cézanne. Worth checking out the clock face on the 5th floor which has views across Paris.

Centre Pompidou
Modern art. I'm not so keen but again has great views across Paris on top floor.
