Any site like this one? (link inside) Paris descriptions

While researching my trip to Paris, I found this site:
http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/desti...nce/paris1.htm

Are there anymore sites like that?

The link I provided is a walk starting from Notre Dame.
I like it because he said a few things to check out, for example:

"The closest Metro stops are Cité, Hôtel de Ville, and St-Michel, each requiring a short walk. On the square in front of the cathedral, stand far enough back to take in the whole facade. Find the circular window in the center. "

"Looking two-thirds of the way up Notre-Dame's left tower, those with binoculars or good eyes can find Paris' most photographed gargoyle. Propped on his elbows on the balcony rail, he watches all the tourists in line."

"Now turn your attention to the church facade. Look at the left doorway (the Portal of Mary) and, to the left of the door, find the statue with his head in his hands."

Its like a guide for when you get there.
Most travel books and sites just gave descriptions, but no "step by step"

Are there other sites with similiar things so I can read up and get some ideas on what to look for when I get there.

I know, I know, I should look at things I am interested in
But it wouldn't hurt to get other ideas on some stuff I might not notice.

Thanks!
