My dad and I took a week long trip to explore Paris last summer (2010). Every moment was breath taking, but just a note - check out the transportation passes, my shoes had holes in them by day two, and then we found the passes for unlimited rides on the train. This made seeing the city quite a bit easier. Also, while it's wonderful to sit and eat at a Paris cafe, there are quite a few tourist traps. My favorite experience was going to a local bakery for a loaf (note: the bread is baked throughout the early morning, so the earlier you buy, the fresher it is), and then to a market for some cheese and fruit, then strolling over to the river park right across from the Louvre. The food is fresh and delicious, and the view is unbeatable. :)
