Answer:
Two days is not enough, but you can see the high points. Start early! If you ride the Metro (subway) take either the #9 or #6 to the Trocadero station. From there, walk to the Eiffle Tower. It's a breathtaking view of the tower and a nice walk. If the line is not too long, take the ride to the top of the tower. Next do the boat ride on the Seine River. There is a stop near the Eiffle Tower. The cost is about 10 euros, or about $14. You will see many things and get a good overview of the city centre. Next go to the Cathedral at Notre Dame and walk through. From there, walk south accross the river to the Latin Quarter and have lunch. There are all kinds of restaurants-- French, Italian, pizza. It's a great place to watch people. If you're up for a good walk after lunch, go south again to Luxembourg Gardens. It's adjacent to a French government building, I think the Senate, and it is a beautiful garden/park. That's a full day, but if you have time, find the #2 metro to the Anvers station and see Sacre Coure and Montmarte-- nice shops, cafes, and artists. On day two, see the Louvre. You can spend the whole day there easy. Finally, if you have time, go back to the Eiffle Tower at night. Have fun!

Hi! Sorry but my english is so bad, I'm french. In Reims, you sould visit the cathedral, one of the most important in France. You should visit the cellars too, Reims is the capital of the Champagne. In Paris: musée d'Orsay (impressionism), Beaubourg(modern art), take a pleasure boat on the Seine, you will see many important monuments of Paris.

Im staying in paris right now, for such a quick time here though, i suggest you deffenitly go to the eifel tower, which only takes an hour or two, then also see notre dame, the louve which as everyone has said you can spend forver there but i suggest you check out the Nike statue which is on the way to the mona lisa, and also they have the actually stone that the laws of hamorabi are written on which is very neat to check out. Visit the latin quarter which gives you a great taste of french culture and you can also enjoy many great places to eat there. The catacombs are deffinetly worth seeing, they have been one of my best visits here in paris. museum orsay also has many great peices such as monets work, van gough, and whistlers mother. Dont forget to eat plenty of crepes and crossiants!

I suggest you avoid The louvre because is too big and you will pass the whole day and of course you will finish your day stressed and seeing a little bit, people says that a person needs 28 days for seeing he Lovre propperly. I suggest you walking by the Seine river side, walking in St. Germain, if you like palaces, like me, go to Versalles, you can spend half day and see everything.

2-1/2 days should get you some decent sightseeing. Stop in at the Louvre for a couple of hours. If your time is limited head straight for the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. you must be able to say you saw those. One of my favorite pieces in the museum, which is hard to miss, is the Nike ... or the "Winged Victory of Samothrace". it's huge and sits on one of the staircase landings. Take a sightseeing tour on the Seine. Make your way to Pont Neufe and go downstairs into the quay. You can pick the boat up fairly quickly and it's about a 1 hr. trip. The alternative is to do the same thing at night where you see the monuments lit. It's beautiful. Both trips are great. Different perspectives. I'd recommend a two day pass on the Go-Yellow (I think that the name) tour bus line. Four different bus lines that intersect at different points. On & Off privileges and you hit all the major points of the city. They're kind of cool just to ride around in for a while and get a look at the city. Head straight for the upper deck if you can. It's 27E for the two day pass and you can save on the boat ticket (7E instead of 10E) by buying it on the bus. AND you save time. Drink wine and eat lots as often as you can. LOL. Enjoy. When you're done you'll wish you'd had more time but 3 days in Paris is better than none. Always.
