Two days in Paris.......
I have two days in Paris next week which I am looking forward to and wondered whether there were any 'must do' things that FTers would advise me to do. I was in Paris over ten years ago in my teens and, to be honest, don't remember much about what I did!
I want to do the usual touristy things - Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Sacre Coeur, Louvre etc. I just wondered whether there were any other less touristy things which are well worth doing.
Staying close to Republique station but happy travelling around the city.
Oh, and any nice restaurant / bar recommendations would be great too!
Thanks in advance!

Hi
probably everything will be overcrowded in high season but Versaille (it's out of the center, actually different city) is nice to go a day! but would require a full day actually.
Buy a 2-3 day pass for the metro. you can get around quite quick then.

- Rodin museum and sculpture garden
- Cluny Museum of the Middle Ages
The Cluny Museum is conveniently placed as a starting point for a walk around the Latin Quarter.

You could try looking in this thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/franc...aten-path.html just a couple down on this page, no search needed, which is almost identical to your question.
