The Eiffel tower is of course a must, but don't forget to view it from all angles of the city. Go to the Arc de Triumph at night, and buy the ticket to go to the top. The view is breathe-taking, and try to go on the hour because the Eiffel tower has a glimmering lights show for the first five minutes of each hour on the hour, and it is truly a sight to see from the top of the Arc.
Food In Paris
Breakfast or petit déjeuner as the French call it, is an important meal. Start the day off as any Parisian, at a local cafe.

Grab a quick pastry and a cafe au lait.
Bakery's and good wine are two things that Paris knows how to do, and while visiting the city they should be a staple of the traveler's diet. When dining the house wines are not only a great bargain, but also a very tastey choice.
