There is so much information on this site about those topics. Try typing some of those things in the search box- you will get lots of info. There are threads also, but i don't know how to do those links. good luck

I loved Giverney. I was there early in the season a few years ago so don't know how many flowers are spring bloomers vs. summer. You don't say how many days you'll be there...sounds like a week? There is a LOT to see IN Paris, so you probably should not take TOO many day trips. One or two at the most.

As a swag, if you are there for a week or less, I'd maybe, just maybe, consider one trip. Versailles is a good one, easy access from Paris by train and would not eat up a full day. Chartres, Giverny, maybe even Reims could be others.
I would start by reading the Fodor Destination Guide from this site, then do a browse using the search button (up top) to find some Paris info. There are TONs of info here, give us a rough draft and we'll help you refine an itinerary. Why are you going to Paris, for how long? What attracts you there, what are your interests? This will help to plan your stay.
Cordialement,
Mike

Hi J,
If you will be in Paris for a week or less, tere is no need for daytrips from the city.
