What are some good things to do in Paris?

• Hello. Next year's spring break I am going to Spain and France! April 2011 with my friends from school.So maybe I'm getting too excited? But this is my first trip. EVER. So with this, I just want to make sure I make the most of it. What do you suggest that I buy in Paris that is really worth it and says a lot about the culture, that screams I went to Paris? Oh yeah. I'm 16. Also, what are some clever pictures that I can take or some must have shots that i need to take while there? Same with Spain. Thank you!

• Answer:

  Go to Pere Lechaise cemetery...lots of famous people are buried there (eg Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison, Chopin) but the "headstones"if you can call them that are huge, often more monuments and statues.. also the lipstick marks on Oscar Wilde's "monument"are NOT from women!!! just walking around you will see amazing buildings, with ornate gold statues etc. I personally loved Sainte Chapelle, truely AMAZING stained glass!!!
