What to see in Paris

Here are a few for your consideration.

Musee de Montmartre
St Denis Basilica
Parc de la Villette ( Musee de Science & Technologie)
Boat trip on Canal St Martin to Parc de la Villette
Pavilion de l'Arsenal (free admission)
Montparnasse cemetary

A couple more ideas:

Jardin de Plantes

Malmaison

Fontainebleau

Vaux le Vicomte

A weekly market - Grenelle or President Wilson marche

Jewish History museum

Opera Garnier

Musee Guimet (have been and it is very good)

Have not been to but are on my list:

Les Arts Decoratifs (was closed for a private function when I tried to go last month)

Musee du Quai Branly

Musee National de la Marine

Cite de L'Architecture et du Patrimoine

Also want to see the Roman Amphitheater and as someone mentioned above Jardin des Plantes.

editing to add Conciergerie which I don't see on your list but bet you have done.

And .....

Promenade Plantee
Bus No.42 from beginning to end, starting at Gard du Nord
Picasso Museum to see the mansion itself even if you don't like his art. Millions of euros were just spent to refurbish it
The Pompidou because it is interesting as a building and the view is great.

Thank you all, you made some great suggestions for me to put on my list when I go back to Paris.

The Museum of Counterfeits (not just fake purses, but more sinister things that have caused fatalities, like car parts and medicines). Their website doesn't seem to be working now, but here's another site about it: http://www.placesinfrance.com/counterfeit_museum_paris.html

Rowing boats on the lake in the Bois du Boulogne (near the Museum of Counterfeits).

The Metro station at Porte Dauphine (the closest one to the Bois du Boulogne and the Museum of Counterfeits), which has the most intact original Art Nouveau entrance canopy.

The amazing Art Nouveau building at 29 Avenue Rapp. If this intrigues you, there are lots of Art Nouveau buildings in the 7th and 16th Arrondissements, and I found some recommendations on Google like this:

The ceramics museum in Sevres (just outside the city limits, but covered by the Museum Pass): http://en.parismuseumpass.com/musee-sevres-cite-de-la-ceramique-musee-national-de-la-ceramique-49.htm

Other cemeteries (François Truffaut is buried in the Montmartre Cemetery). (I haven't been to other cemeteries myself, but I'm intrigued).

A day trip to Provins - fascinating medieval town, easy to get to & like stepping back into time.

The Grand Palais, check ahead for exhibitions and see if something interests you.
Bon Marche, not a museum but might as well be for anyone on a budget. Make sure to check out the food department downstairs.

there are dozens of great day trips; we just did one to Conflans Sainte Honorine last Sunday and walked from Conflans along the Seine for 3 miles to Andresy where we had lunch at a little restaurant on an island where they pick you up in a speedboat and ferry you across. (there is a little bell on the dock to summon them)

take a look at my photo journal under 'Paris' and 'Day trips from Paris' for some other ideas in and out of the city. www.janettravels.wordpress.com. I think the most under visited great site in Paris is St. Denis Basilica. It is just outside the city but on the metro. It is a wonder.

The churches of St Sulpice and St Germain des Pres, along with the nearby Delacroix Museum.
Musee Quai Branly is fantastic.
Canal Saint Martin for funky shops and cafes.
Basilica of St Denis and Chateau of Vincennes are both accessible by metro.

I am sorry you don't feel attracted to the Pompidou.
The gallery with Picassos and Braques brought a tear to my eye.

Yes, there are probably lots of things yet to be seen in Paris, but you've done more than most will ever do. So let me go outside the box. How about a day trip to Reims or a couple of days in Normandy visiting the beaches. Just food for thought.

I'm sure I'm going to mention some places that others already have.

First of all, do you have dates in mind for a visit or is this more of a wish list? My last visit was in late April and it was a joy just to walk, every tree seemed to be in bloom, lilacs in profusion, beautiful flower beds at every turn. 2 hours in the Rodin Museum gardens was wonderful. So was sitting under the lilacs in a tiny park near the Cluny and watching a few kids playing. One time, I was in Paris over the third weekend in September for Les Journées du Patrimoine and got to see the fabulous palaces of the Senat (the Luxembourg), the Assemblée Nationale, and the Hotel de Ville that are only open to the public on those 2 days, and also the Russian Embassy (another gorgeous building) and a special exhibit on the Romanovs, complete with lots of jewels and Faberge creations.

I've been to concerts in the old churches, like St. Germaine des Pres, put together my own chocolate crawl (and the one Iris does for Paris Walks is excellent), and visited quirky little museums like the Musee de la Poupée (near the Pompidou) and the netsuke museum (Musée d'Ennery), both worth a couple of hours. On my last visit, I had planned to go to the Grand Palais for a special exhibit, but I got side-tracked into the Petit Palais and loved it, both the collections and the building with a charming garden and baby ducks (in April). The Sewers of Paris tour is really interesting and not as icky as you'd expect.

I've ventured out of Paris by bus to MiniFrance - see every famous castle, church, abbey, Roman ruin and more in a few hours. Reims cathedral and champagne tours can be a day trip or an overnighter (then add Epernay). Another great day trip is Chartres. Check ahead and go on a day that Malcolm Miller's giving tours, climb the tower for the view, and do a self-guided walking tour of this charming town. Day trip to Fontainebleau.

Take tours. I had a lot of fun on the Fat Tire Segway night tour (lots of photo ops and interesting facts and factoids). . . or one of their bike tours. Paris Walks tours can be great, though the quality of the guides varies a lot. On my last visit I did the "ghost" tour, lovely walk and interesting stories with a good guide. I bookmarked Strange and Interesting walks article, but never had the time. Paris Greeters and the Cognac-Jay Museum are still on my to-do list.

Giverny! It is a beautiful, magical place, especially if you like Monet, or gardens, or want to see the French Countryside. We took an 8:00 am train and were back for lunch in Paris by 1:30, though I could have stayed there all day.

Shoah Memorial( its a museum not same as Deportation Memorial)
Invalids Army Museum
I second suggestion of St Denis

Janet, I was born in Conflans St Honorine, but family lived in Andresy! Haven't been back in 15 yrs( when my dad and I were able to visit old family home by knocking on the door of new owners!)

Hi Ann, sounds like you're pretty much of an expert on Paris! Here are a few more suggestions:

• Take the stairs to the top of Notre Dame Cathedral to see the gargoyles up close and personal. It's worth the 387 steps!
• The crypts in front of Notre Dame
• Galleries Lafayette (beautiful architecture, great free views from the roof)
• Wandering around Montmartre (the RS walking tour is a great start)
• Day trip(s) to Giverny, Chartres, Reims or Amboise

Hope you have a great time!

The Chateau de Maintenon is one of my favorite non-busy sites. It's on the Paris-Chartres-Le Mans train line and it's a sleepy town with a fantastic little chateau (and a view of the aqueducts ). Stop there on your way to Chartres.

Porte des Vanves flea market on Saturday or Sunday morning...go early ...some start packing up by noon

Food markets...wonderful fun and you can buy things for lunch. The rue Mouffetard market is every morning,but Monday. On Sundays at the bottom of the hill there is singing and dancing around noon. The Saxe Breteuil market in the 7th is wonderful...my favorite...it is on Thursday and Saturday mornings.
