if you like ice cream at all, go to Bertillion as suggested above. You will wonder why all the fuss about Ben and Jerry’s and Haagen Daaz. Caramel is my favorite (there) as the flavor will EXPLODE in your mouth. If you like to walk outdoors, visit the Luxembourg Gardens and/or Tuilleries, walking from the Louvre up the Champs-Elysees all the way to the Arc de Triomphe. Wander through the Marais, making a stop at Place des Vosges. Stroll along the Seine. For fabulous views of Paris that you DON’T see on the postcards, ride that ferris wheel or visit roof of the Institut du Monde Arab or the rooftop of the Samaritaine Dept. store. (IluvParis)

Don’t miss the boul. Raspail marche biologique on Sunday Mornings. Great organic calvados and crepes and comestibles. The calvados and cider make great presents. Good snack foods and fun to see parisiens shop. Afterwards, have a nice cup of tea or an espresso at Brasserie Lutetia and be amazed that you are in paris. I agree- the cluny is great, especially the new gardens. I would also ditto the institut du monde arabe and add the musee de l’arte moderne de la ville de Paris on av.president wilson. Musee Marmottan is great and not very crowded. The Passy and Parc Monceau neighborhoods are not often visited by tourists, its very flossy and interestingly Parisien. I would also hit Poilane on rue de cherche-midi if its open and pick up a pastry and a pain d’epices and mail the pain d’epices to me. Its an amazing bakery. (lalala)
