Paris:Please review my intineray and critique

Are you planning on visiting any museums in the Marais district? Keep in mind the Historic Paris Walk may take longer than expected as the lineups can be very long and the museum pass doesn't allow you to bypass all the lines.
All in all it looks manageable as I saw the same things in the same amount of time you did (I substituted Versailles for the Orsay Museum). I was tired by the end of the day, but I still had plenty of time for shopping and relaxing.

Thank you. I'm not a museum type of person, so we are only going to 1 museum given the short amount of time. We picked Louvre. Is the Rodin or any others a better pick?

Fernando, I am not a museum person and the Louve overwhelmed me. We opted not to do the Orsay last time, which I was bummed.

This time I am excited about going to that one. My hubby, who is the museum freak, is still making me go to Louve :(

We just returned from Paris yesterday and your itinerary is fine. Our Louvre experience was also on a Friday evening and the crowds were not bad, but there was a good size lineup for cheap entry 6pm tickets (we got there about 5 pm). Regardless, I got as close as one could get to the Mona Lisa without any difficulty. If you had to pick only one museum to go to, we suggest the Orsay. For the Eiffel tower we arrived 10 minutes before it opened and took the stairs to the second level. Huge lineups for elevators but only about 15 people in front of us for the stairs. By the time we reached the 2nd level there was hardly anyone there (just the stairs crowd and probably 1 load of elevator people). We loved just walking and did all the tours that you mention. Our big highlight was the Pere Lachaise tour. Not just for the celebrity graves but for the beautiful graveyard itself and all the history of Paris. And yes, the 5th or 6th arrondisement is the best for what you want to do.

Trocadero is across the river (3 minute walk) from the Eiffel Tower. It is also a beautiful view should you not go up the tower. I would suggest combining the Eiffel and Trocadero at the same time.

Plan a walk along the Seine. I am not familiar with the RS numbered walks.

If you are staying in the 5th - a walk in Jardin des Plantes is in order.

I am guess when you say "morning at rue Cler - you are referring to the markets and shops ? Keep in mind - some shops will be closed on Sunday (which I think is your day 3- typical for Fromagerie and Wine Cave for example. Some Boulangerie will be open in the early morning - items will go quick because not all will be open. It you plan to shop you may want to switch your walks for Day 2 and Day 3 - keeping Versailles on Saturday. This would be easy to leave from rue Cler area on the RER C to Versailles. Get a little picnic at the shops and eat at the gardens at Versailles.

Yona: I heard that Rue Cler has been renamed "Rue Rick Steves", has the name change become official yet, has the Mayor cut the ribbon?

Kent - rue Cler is gaining in reputation to be an area of avoidance during tourist season. Most of the French have no clue who Rick Steves is to be honest - but a look of understanding comes over their face when you explain why all the Americans are attracted to the area.
