Hi normal
My view on your itinirary....
Day 1
Busy, but manageable, depending on how much time you spend in Louvre. Might add Place Royale and Place Vendome to your list, as places that should be seen. Maybe a visit to Laduree for their famous macarons (at place de la Concorde, look up street - away from river, you'll see Madeleine at end, Laduree on right). I'd add Angelina's for a hot chocolate, but that is starting to fill up your day.
Day 2, light day. Could add Marais, Place des Vosges. Maybe a good day to do a Paris Walks tour. They do a Marais in the morning...lunch at Place des Vosges,then off to Monmartre? I did this tour last fall, good.

Day 3
Good
Day 4
Add in St Chapelle here and Ile St Louis. Also nice time to do some walking along Seine for views, bouquinistes,etc.. Berthillon ice crem on the Ile, maybe outside lunch at Brasserie de l'ile St Louis?
Day 5
good

Kerouac are there any grocery type stores open on Sunday? There is a Franprix down the street from our apartment according to Page Jeunes but I can't tell what their hours might be.
