Sainte-Chappelle church is breathtaking, and I highly recommend a stop here to see the chapel which is entirely stained glass windows.

Go to Notre-Dame and climb up to the gargoyles and if you care to climb even further up, you can climb up to the bell tower. The view is also amazing (here are some pics I took when we were there last year)





Sacre Coeur in Montemarte. Again, big climb up to the church and the climb up to the tower...fantastic views of the city for miles.

Walk around Montemarte a bit. It's an artists village (very touristy though), Van Gough lived and painted there. Find a cafe, have some lunch, or a snack of wine, cheese and bread.

I suggest the Eiffel Tower not long before sunset, if it's a nice day, the view is amazing and it's very romantic to watch the lights of the city come on as it gets dark.

One of the most fun things we did was take a dinner cruise down the Sienne. They had a band, dancing and the food was pretty good. It was so much fun and so romantic.

MUST see (in that order for me!)

Eiffel Tower (best view if from the "Trocadero")
Arc de Triomphe
Champs Elysee
Le Louvre (for Antiquities)
Notre Dame/Sacre Coeur
Bateaux mouches (dinner/cruise on the Seine River)
Quay D'Orsay (for modern art and impressionist painters)
Hotel de Ville
Department stores (Lafayette, Printemsp, etc..). You can go to the roof and take pics of Paris too.

OTHER:
Versailles (but that's outside Paris). I love Versailles personally.
Catacombes (underground cementery). It can be "freaky" a bit.
