My husband and I will be in Paris from August 11-15 and are looking for fun or interesting (or both) things to do. We have visited the traditional sites, Eiffel Tower, Giverney, Versailles, Notre Dame, Louvre, and would like to find some off the beaten path places. Does anyone have a suggestion of places to check out that they remember fondly? We are in our 40s and in good shape so lots of walking is fine.

Plenty of Museums like Jaquemart, Nissim, Moyen Age, Marmotan, Carnavalet...

Cooking class?

St Denis for the Royal experience.

You've done the market thing (Clignancourt, Vanves..)?

Catacombs, Egouts...

I've taken to doing a walking tour or two, since they often show you things off of the normal tourist route. There is a chocolate tour that sounded interesting...

Since you like trips, perhaps Auvers sur Oise to see Van Gogh atttractions?

Visit to a haman for a turkinh bath experience?

Lunch/Dinner at a place with a view (Eiffel, Tour Montparnasse)

Visit to a more ethnic area (see Kerouac's tour at this site)

Fat Bike Tour?

Paris Plage (if still on)?

Montmartre
Sacre Coeur beautiful church also a great view of Paris And the Effel tower,
There is a little village right beside Sacre Coeur that has a lot of little shops and some artist sitting in the square .There are several cute rest also one i like in paticuluar is Le Poulbot really cute and romatic.I have eaten there several time food was good service was nice.Also makes a really pretty picture from the front of it .If fact i will be there in Sept myself and plane on going back.Have you taken one of the boat rides down the river very pretty at night.

Also
Malmaison
Auxerre is a very nice town about 1 hr by train.

I think that most of the venues in Auvers-sur-Oise are closed on Mon and Tues. Check before you go.

The Jacquemart-Andre and Nissim Camodo museums are very close to the Parc Monceau.

The covered galleries

Canal St-Martin

Ile des Impressionistes (la Maison Fournaise)

Deyrolles

Belleville

Tour Montparnasse

Jazz bars

Mosquée de Paris

Père Lachaise

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. We will check some of them out.

I think you might enjoy a visit to the Musee Rodin, which is in a lovely old hotel with a charming garden.

St Denis church - the resting place for lots of kings & queens; it even has a plaque that says Joan of Arc was here.

Have you been to the Musee de l’Orangerie (to see the Monets)? It was closed for so long that it may not have been open on your last visits.

Picasso Museum and Pompideu Center for modern art. (Pardon, but my French spelling is terrible.)

If you care, seek out "the underpass" where Princess Diana was killed. It's chilling and sad.

I've never been to any of the famous cemetaries but I've always wanted to.

The Musée de Cluny, officially known as Musée National du Moyen Âge - to see the tapstries and lots of other cool stuff.

There are several Passages walks that have been well ducumented here. Several fine restaurants and shops are in or near the Passages as well. My favorite starts off with lunch at Grange Bateliere and then a leisurely walk, ending at Palais Royal.

Michel_Paris, I just reserved a spot on the Fat Bike Tour. That looks like fun. Thanks for the suggestion.

The Jaquemart Andre and Musee quai Branly are my two favorites when you've already done the biggies. The Jaquemart Andre was donated by the couple who lived there last so it is like traveling back in time to their home. I loved how the walls of some of the main floor rooms dropped down into the floor to open the rooms to become a ballroom.

The Branly is a beautiful building in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower and the displays are so well done. I had a lovely lunch at Les Ombres on the museum grounds and could actually see the tourists standing on the first level of the Eiffel Tower from the restaurant balcony. The restaurant was filled with French businessmen and women having power lunches more than tourists so I thought that was fun to witness as well.
