    Too touristy, but Montmartre has a good view of the city. Le Marais is a pleasant area to walk around, very historical and beside Le Centre Georges Pompidou. Places des Vosges is a pleasant place to have lunch, if pricy. Oberkampf, near Le Marais is a trendy part of the city, but a real part of the city worth visiting.

    The Louvre is fantastic if you're into that kind of thing. If it's the right time of year (probably not yet), many youngsters congregate along the banks of the Seine around Notre Dame cathederal. Sit out and enjoy some wine.

    I'll have a think.

    Try searching this forum as the same question has been answered millions of times.

    You'll need at least 7 days to do everything (not including Disneyland) so I suggest just limiting yourself to a few things.

    Agree with the search forum thing! however just a quick note on Montmarte - BE CAREFUL - It is full of people trying to stick the bracelets on your arm. When we were there they were quite aggressive when we said no go away. Did ruin it a bit but the view from the top of the hill is well well worth the climb. There is a lift that we didn't see till we got the top! :rolleyes:

    Get your protrait done at Sacre Cour, I got mine done for €10!! He asked me for €75 and eventually came down in price!! There is usually people walking around that will do it and its lovely to have :)

    We used to bring a towel or blanket down to the eiffel tower at night and drink a bottle of wine was so nice and cheap and the tower lighting up was so amazing :)

    Disney land is a must :D make sure you stay for the fireworks display and a tip as soon as its over run to ride that you love and you'll have no queues because everyone will be making their way back :D we got on space mountain 3 goes in a row before the queues started up it was great :D
