if you haven't seen the film "midnight in paris" as yet, go watch it. it will give you and idea and feeling of paris (in the rain ) .

Dear Carolina

I have following advices for you:

- Shopping on Sunday in les Marais: All shops are open and its a really lovely area

- les philisophes: My favourit bistro in Paris. It is also in les Marais and just perfect to have a light lunch or breakfast or just coffe/Kir. Try Salade des philosphes...I love this one

- Trocadero:There you will have a wonderful view of the Tour Eiffel. Lovely caffes nearby.

- Centre Pombidou: Top floor has a nice bar/restaurant/caffee aswell

- Musee d'Orsay is lovely

- Hotel du Nord, le fumoir, le derriere - Great restaurants

- Visit place vendome..I like this one too:-)

Enjoy and if you have some more questions, feel free to ask me.

You could also go for example to the scenic streets of Montmartre, and enjoy the panorama. (go out at Anvers subway station on line 12 or Abbesses station on line 2). For an evening, St-Michel (line4) is one of the most lively places.

A lot to see. I recommend you the DK Eyewitness Travel: Top 10 Paris

Otherwise if it is your first time, the obvious places and even if you would like to do them all, you wont be able to cover it all. It is way too many things to discover. 

Eiffel Tower,

Louvre,

Mont Marte,

Sacre Cour,

Jardin Luxembourg, Parc Monceau

Champ Elysees,

Cimetiere du pere lachaise (Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrision, Edith Piaf, Modigliani)

Louvre

Macaroons at http://www.laduree.fr/

If you know the movies: Before Sunrise, Before Sunset:

I love the flower market behind Notre Dame.

La Sainte-Chapelle is near to Notre Dame.

I have been to concerts at the Elysees and Olympia Hall in Paris - music fans know them very well....

Centre Pompidou is also cool as already recommended above.

It is also recommended to visit Versailles - you can cover it on one day but will be super exhausted by the end.

Ps. if you decide to go to the Louvre, it maybe good to purchase your ticket on-line before.....there might be many people trying to enjoy the Louvre during the winter weekends...

Thank you all for the tips, I will try to cover the most on sunday as I have all day  and then some little sight seeing during the week.

Ahem, Karo my dear don't forget to salsa as well ;-) Paris has a very nice salsa on 2 scene ;-)

Hi, MARIa! Your reply is valuable! Nex timw in paris wil fillow all the places you have advised

I tried to find any online tickets for Louvre and it appears that on the english written sides I can only order it with ups or mail delivery ( no electronic tickets) . I found this site http://louvre.fnacspectacles.com/index.do but it is all in french. Is there maybe possibility to get electronic ticket to Louvre?
