OK. Paris, although not very big, has a huge amount to offer - something for every taste and every pocket. So in order to be of any help, we need more detail before we can make any recommensations. So tell us:

What's your budget?
what sort of things do you like doing?
what sort of things do you like eating?

etc..

Take a river cruise at night on the seine, the eieffel tower at night is all lit up and the boats go past a lot of the sights, lovely

The view from the Eiffel tower is amazing (Arc de Triomphe looks like a Monopoly hotel from up there) but the queues are also insane, you just have to take it though, or at least the stairs as far as you can. Get a Paris Visite card, you can get them for multiple people or days, gives you all the metros plus return trip to the airport - buy it at the airport when you get there. See Notre Dame, it's amazing, if there is a long queue then don't panic, it'll be 10mins not 2 hours like the tower. From Notre Dame, go over the bridge onto the Ile, a short walk and a turning will take you to Cacao et Chocolat, excellent little chocolate shop. Also there's a park next to Concorde, nice for a walk and a beer. Visit the Louvre if you have a week to spare, otherwise the park outside is also nice. Find a cafe, eat a croque monsieur, shrug ambiguously, smoke a tarmac roll-up, and enjoy Paris!

We stayed at the Hotel Langlois in the 9th I think, though I guess you already have your place booked. Top place though.

Don't drive when you're there whatever you do - Paris is the worst place I've ever had the misfortune to ride through. They're all a bunch of insane, murderous, impatient %£%*'s!
