Did this type trip w/ my then 27 yr. old daughter. We were there 51/2 days. Eiffel tower was 1st. stop. Used Hop on hop off bus for transportation and sightseeing 2 days. Stayed in the 7th. Our favorites- Musee Marmottan(in 16th,walk through a park), Musee Rodin(ate at the cafe in the garden), Musee D%26#39;orsay(ate at snack bar thing)., Musee Jacquemart -Andre(hear their cafe is good) We ate Asian takeout in room 1 night,2 lovely meals in cafe,bakery stuff each morning. We did the Louvre in the evening maybe 6-9pm and that was enough. Took train to Versaille,spent 1/2 day there.
If you will ask more specific questions we can better assist you. Also read the Sticky at beginning of Paris Forum that says %26quot;read this first...%26quot; The experts have gather tons of info in one place.
Have a wonderful time. I am going again in Oct w/ 3 gal friends this time

Hi! We just did a trip for a week with our teenagers... we did the Fat Tire Bike Tour of Versailles. It was awesome!!! I highly recommend it and also booking in advance... they definitely sell out and with you going in September, I would book a day now. http://www.fattirebiketoursparis.com/
The Louvre is awesome!!! It is my favorite... and we went there twice, actually... We went to the Tour Eiffel but did not go up... We also did the Catacombs. That was very interesting...
I would get a good guide book if you don%26#39;t already have one. I prefer the DK Eyewitness Guide to Paris because there are great pictures. Also... I would get a Streetwise Map for Paris... available in the travel section of Barnes and Noble... or online or Borders... It is an amazing map. I use them everywhere.
You will have so much fun in Paris. It is my favorite city. A week isn%26#39;t even long enough for me... but try to go for at least a week. You will NOT run out of things to do or see. I promise you that. You could spend a day just wandering around the neighborhood of Montmartre... (where the Moulin Rouge is) It is the most charming neighborhood.
If not a dinner cruise... take the river boats... we prefer the Vedettes du Pont Neuf http://www.vedettesdupontneuf.com/ They even have coupons you can print out at home and take with you. Nice savings...
And for dinner we love La Relais d%26#39;Entrecote (I believe it is spelled that way) Great Steak and Fries... that is ALL they have there. You sit down... they come and ask you how you like your steak, and that is that. It is de-lish!!! It is in St.Germain area on Rue St. Benoit. Right off of Blvd. St. Germain... very good! Even our friends that live there love this place. Other than that.... eat BREAD!!!! I miss the bread so much!!! And the pain au chocolate!!!
Have a great time!!!!

I agree that a guidebook would be a good thing. Why not get two (different), each take one, and each flag one thing for each day that you feel you really want to do/see. Then you can compare (you are bound to have some of the same answers), figure out which are near each other, and plan your itinerary from that!
