Maybe%26#39;s

Rodin Muesum

Opera Garnier - for a play/opera - can you just visit the inside without seeing a show?

Those are the most known tourist spots.

You might have missed one or two, like the Trocadero, the Pantheon, Place des Vosges, the Invalides and Les Halles / Centre Georges Pompidou, but I would hardly advise you to have a look at the real Parisian life, and to visit one of the typicaly Parisian neighbourhoods, as La Villette, Bastille, the 17th, etc.

As the previous poster mentioned, you%26#39;ve got many of the tourist attractions covered, minus a few here and there.

How much time are you alloting for all this?

A few things to add:

*time to play outside be it sitting on a park bench or in a cafe

*place de vosages

*the Marais district for ecclectic shops

Give yourself as much time to get lost in the city and to enhale the beautiful ambiance and energy.

It might not be your cup of tea, but we enjoyed visiting the catacombs. If you%26#39;re claustrophobic it%26#39;s not a good idea, but the history combined with the visual artistry makes it a compelling experience.

Several others beat me to it--Paris is also for sitting in any sidewalk cafe with a pichet of wine and watching the scene, especially AWAY from all the sites you listed. Relax--don%26#39;t start with a checklist and feel you%26#39;ve failed if you don%26#39;t see them all. Your enthusiasm will carry you through, I can tell.

I will be there for 11 full days ;-)

I am traveling with my boyfriend who is French from Paris ;-0

I will be alone for 5 days (he has a confrence for work, during the week)...so i plan to do the touristy things during those days...since he has been to The Eiffel Tower about a million times :-)

His family is planning on taking me around one of those %26quot;alone%26quot; days and we have a french friend that is going to go with me to Versailles on either the Tuesday or Wednesday...i hope those days are good days to go there...

The only other problem is...it is my first time meeting the parents...and gparents. They don%26#39;t speak English...luckily, i have been learning French for the last 8months...i am still not totally comfortable speaking (pronouncation is SOOOOOO....bad!), but i am going to force myself...per Le Prof at the university (part of my project since i will be missing a week of class!)

Also, Wine in the park?!? is it allowed? in public? I have emailed my BF to ask...but since someone mentioned it...Weird for me coming from the US...BUT VERY COOL!

Also, catacombs are really not my cup of tea...BF has already seen them and i def wouldn%26#39;t want to go alone :-)

Thanks...keep it coming any advice is useful!
