In any case have a great trip. My wife calls Paris an adult Disneyland.
Also consider an open-jaw, flying in to London and out of Paris. The flight into London is shorter so you get less time to sleep, but by departing from Paris instead of London you save about $125-$150 in taxes that are specific to departing London in a premium cabin.
