An FYI for anyone heading to Paris, some of the tourist sights have some current construction.
Eiffel Tower - some work underneath the bottom. Won't affect your visit.
Saint Chappell - several of the stained glass windows are being reconditioned and are covered. Only 2-3 of the windows the rest are open.
Arc de Triumph - scaffolding is up on the north side of the tower.
Mont St Michel - lots of construction. The new causeway and a lot of work right in front of the island and also some scaffolding up on part of the front of the abbey.
All still worth seeing for a first timer.

Lots of scaffolding in many areas.

Nice that these monuments are maintained.
