Thanks for the tips, chicgirl!

Checked out the website for the walking tours . . . they look great! They only had the March schedule, so I emailed them to get the April one, which I am assuming won't be that different. The Marais Circuit I tours looks like a good one for this first time visitor.

The bus tour also sounds like a good idea . . . we will be tired from traveling, but excited, and a tour of the city sounds quite nice! I am sure all of my travel guides have info about bus tours.

Thanks again!

Right next to the Rodin Museum is Hotel Invalides (right across the street.) You can pop in and out quickly and it's a nice building with some beautiful paintings/glass inside. AND Napoleon's tomb.

Do get to Notre Dame early as the line can be long. You might want to walk over to the Marais. The area is nice to walk around, and if you're interested, the Picasso museum is there.

If you're so inclined, Fontainbleau was beautiful! It's a half day trip outside of Paris.

With the Carte de Musee, you can get right into the museums without waiting in line (at least Rodin, Louve, D'Orsay) so take advantage of it if you can. I skimmed through the other responses and agree that doing Eiffel on a weekend, and when you cant' get there first thing in the am will be tough. You might add it to your day two so you can at least arrive early.

Have a blast!
