Please, please check out a good travel book on Paris before making your final plans. My 5 days in Paris last year just was like an introduction. This May, it will be 14 days. And that schedule is very full from morning to night.
Paris is NOT like any other city in the world.
Very, very true...
...but on the other hand, my traveling companion found two days in Paris to be two days too many. I think we would have been happy to skip Paris entirely and just spend all of our time in Dijon and Beaune.
There's something to be said for a moderate-length introductory excursion...
