• Answer:

  I personally wouldn't bother with the cemetary. If I recall correctly it's way out of the way and it closes at 5 pm, so that's a big waste of your time getting there. Just my personal though, it's not what says Paris to me. You can really easily get to Versaille by train, that's a quick trip. Maybe try the catacombs, that's a quick tour. The Louvre is great--but it's huge!! On a slow day you can follow the map and go through quickly and go see the major exhibits (The Mona Lisa), I personally don't think you can go to Paris and not see her. Buy a crepe off the street, and a cafe au lait at a cafe and you're set. There is a line of tour books by Rick Steves that are good. He always puts in tons of walking tours that you can do on your own, and they are really informative.
