OK - so now that the pain of Paris is over, I want to let you know it really wasn't that bad. The tourist stuff was amazing and the views of Paris from all over were incredible. The Eiffel Tower did look better from far away, Notre Dame was detailed beyond belief, the painting of Jesus on the ceiling of Sacre Coeur was breath-taking, and Versailles was a palace for serious Royalty - the grounds were unbelievable! If you are into taking trips that show you all the amazing sights most people only dream of - Paris should be on the list.
My only word of advice - the more Euros you spend in Paris (on hotel, cabs, food, etc.) the better your trip will be. If watching cash flow out of your wallet makes you faint, this trip isn't for you. You CAN do it, but be advised Paris will not be as dreamy or romantic as you hoped it would be.
If you stay near the Louvre, you're perfectly situated to hit all the high points by foot (except Versailles - the train ride was nice though). And, if you want to know what you're eating, learn a little French before you go......
