RE: What to do in Paris ?

Buttery, flakey, light croissants in the morning with Parisean coffee; stand at the bar to drink, it doubles the price to sit at a table. Grad a sandwich on a great baggette almost anywhere; lots of duck in shops along the streets; you won't regret it. Skip the crowds and visit Rodin's museum; the original "Thinker" sits in the garden. His Burghers of Calais is moving, emotional, once you know the story.
Splurge on a private guide for the first day or even half day; they add so much to the knowledge of first time visitors and can point you in the right direction(s) for the rest of your visit.
Try to pass 4/5's of the chocolate shops or else you will be docked by the airlines for excess weight.
Walk everywhere, and if you don't, take the Metro. Buy a pass and use it. Check tripadvisor for restaurant suggestions and try to not to eat within two blocks of a major museum or attraction. Never eat at restaurants with the menu in 4 languages outside, if you want a native experience. The civil French, they take their dogs in the restaurants with them and park the baby outside in the pram. (Frequent Visitor)
